Most of the time today was spent making sure everything was square &#8211; measuring and measuring and measuring. The 4 corners are slightly offset because of where I set the posts, so I squared to one corner and shimmed the others\u00a0before drilling and bolting.<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what I&#8217;m going to put up for walls (or roof). I&#8217;d like to keep the weight of the entire structure low, but still need a safety rail for anyone up top \u00a0(stainless cable railing&#8230;?). With the decking in place but not attached, I realized that I have enough wood to curve the front of the treehouse. I&#8217;m planning to attach the decking square, and then sketch a curve across the front and trim it with the jigsaw (and bevel the edge with the router).<\/p>\n<p>The footprint is small &#8211; about 8&#215;6, but I realized as I was cleaning up today that it would be a perfect spot for a telescope and chair &#8212; which may drive some decisions on roof options, maybe something convertible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zippy 8 miler\u00a0downtown in the morning and then worked outside all day.
