I would gladly pay you Tuesday, for a new treehouse today...

For sleepwalkers, that first step is a doozy!

Never walk under the bathroom section.

When one of those California earthquakes come along, you get the added bonus and adventure of a spectacularly dazzling, forcefully flung flight, with your pretty treehouse careening through the redwoods, out into the ozone, and into the great unknown!

Do the Redwoods ever get a blow down?

There’s still plenty of money there to afford a $150,000 bauble.

It was a 1/3rd of a $million car when new, IIRC. I’m not inimately familiar with it, though have seen them up close at the dealership. It’s a Porsche, probably a semi-vestigial one.

California doesn’t get many violent windstorms of the sort we get in the central and eastern parts of the country.

Really? That would be news to the people in Paradise, Santa Rosa and Malibu.

How many trees were knocked over by the force of the wind?

Pinecone? It looks more like a wasp nest.

Quite a few actually. I lived in Kalifornia for decades and now live within sight of it. Wind events of hurricane force winds are not unusual. I have seen three storms with sustained winds of 90 mph and gust over 110mph - for hours and hours. These storms are not associated with rain typically so the roots on the trees are not saturated and they occur frequently enough that weaker trees are weeded out early on in their life. We had a 14 hour wind event last week that had 40 mph sustained winds with 60 mph gusts - Winter just gearing up.

wonderful....more frivolity for our elite rich to waste..

I think people should be able to spend their money as they please even if you don't approve.

And keep in mind, the money they spend supports the people who do the designs, supply the materials, build, deliver, and maintain their foolish trinkets.

There’s no connect. It’s a compost toilet. That looks like a Natures Head. I did a bunch of research on marine compost toilets because I was thinking of putting one in our sailboat.

Yes, to look good, furniture almost has to be made specially for them.

And some of them really dwarf your furniture; but a lot of the vaulted log cabins and post and beam houses do the same thing

Yes, I had to get a 4X8 sheet of plywood to cut a curved desktop. No finish. Well it was the early 70’s.The dome was also only about 30 feet in diameter. It was 8 feet up in the air on a platform and telephone pole stilts. Entry through a trap door in the floor. I parked my VW bug underneath, climbed up on the bumper and hood to get in, dog and cat came in that way too. No bathroom or kitchen. It was built behind a farmhouse, so it was an outhouse and outside manual pump for water. Ah those were the days....NOT!

You were living very romantically for the early ‘70s ;-)
