Adding a little more space for the treehouse and crow's nest

This is a better shot of the treehouse from the West late in the afternoon with the sun on it.

I have now added an alcove onto the main deck so that I can enlarge the treehouse to about twice the size I had originally planned on.  This is so that sleeping space will be ample inside the house.

I have now incorporated two new branches on the south side to support this addition. It is 5' x 6' in size.  I will build the treehouse into this alcove, but I will put a flat roof on that section so that I can put the crow's nest above.  This will make the house about 6' x 11' in size and yet leave a sizable veranda on the main deck.
