Building a Tree House- Phase 2

We're continuing to work on the tree house in our free time.
Here's where we left off... with the floor/platform built.


Next, Mike built the framing for the sides.



Luckily, we had a ton of old wainscoting left in the second floor of the barn by the previous owner.  It's tongue & groove, so we used that for the siding.

Here's the view from the other side:

We tried to be as conservative as possible with the wood- cutting off the bad pieces, and saving the scraps to use on the angled corners.  It was like a puzzle :)


In progress



In just one afternoon, we completed two long sides, and one "corner" side.

We've put the tarp back over the top, to protect it from the summer rain until we get the roof on there... but first we have to finish the siding.
It looks like the prow of a boat from this side!



Here are some of the views from up there...
