Building a treehouse - where do I even start?

Want to build something cool for my kids this summer. Have some big oak trees in the backyard and figured a treehouse would be amazing. Never built anything like this before though. Do I need an architect? How much is this going to cost? Is this insanely dangerous or just normal dangerous? Anyone done this?

Start with safety first, man. Get those trees inspected and grab a good treehouse book or YouTube guide before you swing a hammer. Your kids will think you're a legend either way.

Dude, that oak is perfect. Start simple with a basic platform and railings before you get fancy. My kids love hanging out in ours, and honestly it beats any screen time.

This is awesome! I'd say map out a solid plan and maybe grab a buddy to help with the build. Night shifts keep me busy but I'd definitely find time for something this cool for my kid.
