    This treehouse is legally considered a "residence" -- would you live here full-time?

    I think the "sustainable" part is more to attract customers, most of the house is made of normal industrial material. Still a very nice treehouse, would love to have one in my garden

    • @ianmcnaney6528
      @ianmcnaney6528 Před 2 lety +8

      100% agree. Chris hinted at that with his "sustainable refrigerator" remark.
      It reminds me of a video I watched a week or two ago about a high end resort in the Maldives. Think tropical islands with houses and walkways on posts over the water. The houses were "sustainable" and made of "natural materials", so no plastic or metal except for all of the plastic and metal in plain sight. Each was equipped with a "sustainable" swimming pool, filled with desalinated water at great expense and environmental cost. The only way to reach it was by "sustainable" jet to Male Island international airport, and then taking a "sustainable" seaplane trip to the island itself. I'm sure all of the abundant fresh fruits and ingredients for gourmet dining were "sustainably" flown in as well.
      Greenwashing at its finest, but at $5000 a night I'd expect no less.

    I built a treehouse when I was 10 yo. I used 2x4s for the flooring and inch thick planks for walls. I used steel nails to build the house supported by four tall pines growing close to each other.
    In less than a month, I experienced wall planks falling off for no reason. Then one corner of flooring collapsed.
    All those four pines swayed in the wind at their own pace and simply fatigued the nails I had used for construction into a catastrophic failure. Metal fatigue by living trees swaying in the wind.
    Should have used ropes :)
