Getting Nerdy for Tree's

While in WA, I also met up with Scott (the arborist) and convinced Dave (our architect) to meet up with us (wasn't too hard)  The crew meets Scott at his office in Fremont and later cruise the streets in search for good drinks and eats where we can sit and nerd out on tree's.  While at Scott's office, I got to check out the equipment used to determine if a tree is in good health for a tree house (didnt' take pictures, but check out his website if your into tree's/treehouses and want to know more)  If your looking to build a treehouse, my team is pretty legit ;)

Trip to WA: Meet Architect... Meet "Treehouse Master's"....

I head to Washington to work (not treehouse related) but it just so happens that the treehouse world is here too ;)  
This time of year...
No water drought here...

I set up a meeting to finally meet my architect face to face (and I don't mean on Skype)  We decide to meet at Treehouse Point, where Pete Nelson from Treehouse Masters has built a wonderland of treehouses.
Treehouse Wonderland

Look Out Point on a Treehouse
Couldn't have been a better spot for inspiration, for David Fall (my architect) and I to finish the final touches on the final design (you know, after we realized we had more land, 4 tree's close to eachother and more secluded - this is a learning process)  Both my architect and engineer work with Pete Nelson in creating treehouses, so it was quite nice to have the hookup and have Dave set up a time for us to walk through the treehouses and the land!
Dave Fall (architect) - Odly enough, the treehouse in the back was my 1st blog post... coincidence?... I think not

After climbing into the treehouses, Dave and I sat down with a hot tea and figured out the finishing touches on our treehouse >>>>"Lover's Treehouse"  Handing off to Engineering SOON!
