Built my son a treehouse and it's actually not terrible

Aug 10·1 min read

Been working on this treehouse project for about 3 weeks now. Just finished it last Saturday and took the kids up for the first time. My 6yo thinks I'm a superhero now. It's not fancy, just some 2x6s bolted into an old oak tree with basic railings and a rope ladder, but seeing their faces was totally worth every blister and every time I dropped a screw. Highly recommend if you've got the time and a decent tree.

Building something with your hands for your kid hits different. I did the same thing last summer and it was one of my favorite projects ever. How's your son loving it?

This is the kind of dad move that actually matters. Not fancy, not expensive, just something he can call his. Guarantee he's bragging about it to his friends at school.

Three weeks? That's dedication. I've been planning a treehouse for my boys for like two years and haven't started. Now you've got me motivated. How'd you keep your sanity working on it that long?

Dude, props on finishing it. Most dads start projects and they sit half-done for years. Plus your son is going to remember that for the rest of his life. That's the good stuff right there.
