A Thailand tree house
This is what we are calling our Thai tree house. Ok, it ain't really a true tree house, but it is the best I could do. It's not done yet as we have a few more options to add.

The house is a simple one room that has electricity. Notice the electrical wires are still hidden. I wanted a tin roof in order to put a Thai leaf roof on top on the steel. I say tin, some say steel. Same, same...

You can see the stairways is not done.

Out tree house has screen windows and a sliding screen door.

One big problem that we ran into was the trees. What we decided and that you can see is the wire cable holding the one tree back. One of two things will happen. Either the bad tree will grow the way we want or if not then we will have a vine type of plant to hide the cable.

One other thing. This pic also shows the view looking directly through our pavilion and into the back part of the main house. The fengshui type of thing...



A front view.



BTW, you have probably noticed the fake tree supports. All concrete.

Anybody want to test a hillbilly tree house out?

more of a wooden house on concrete posts in amongst some trees.

Very nice though. Could you put more of a balcony round it. Great place for lounging and beering.

Well done.

Great job, Hillbilly. Gives me a real tree house feeling. Inside you can hang centerfolds and Judas Priest album covers.

It's fast becoming a 'compound' HB...I can see it being the centre of TD activity in the future...

maybe MtD should stop organising gigs around the country and just hone in on yours...

looks good...BTW how's the fishing?..

Ah, tin roofs - the memories. Sitting around on grannies wrap-around porch as the rain tinkles down upon the tin roof. Me mum thought the sound was annoying (city folks), I found it quite relaxing.

That looks really nice Hillbilly. It doesn't matter that it's not made in a real tree, it's the thought that counts. Well done.

Alot nicer than the treee houses we built as a kid. What are you calling it? "Hillbilly's Hidaway", "Hillbilly's Tree Resort", Hillbilly's Guest House", "The Getaway",,,, in any event, you will probably find yourself there when you are in the dog house.

Good Job Khun Billy!

Ciao!

Looks great. we built a litle place like that with some trees we had to cut down to make way for a canal that never came. I think i may build something like the one you did out in my eucalyptus forest. more pics please.

He has been here. The dude didn't want to leave.

BTW, some people really like to eat.

TD people are welcome anytime. But there is a dress code and reservations are required.

The tin roof with thatch on top is a good idea. This is what we've done on our old shack. Before the thatch it was ridiculously hot, now it's fine even in the middle of the day. It's also quiet when it rains.
