We have finally completed the framing of the entire treehouse, including the alcove and the crow's nest deck above and behind the house. What has not been completed yet are the roof rafters for the main section of the house, wrapping the house with siding, intalling the shingles, and installing the windows in the frames.
We had to level the deck for the treehouse for the third time. The weight of the structure is causing some branches to move a little. To maintain the deck level we had to drop one corner about 2". I am somewhat concerned with the total amount of weight we have brought up into the tree. I am going to be installing more metal support brackets shortly in key locations.
I have now read up on building curved rafters. This should be very interesting as I have never tried to build a curved roof before.
