I built this treehouse when I was 12 or 13, maybe even younger. I remember two kids could fit in it back then. I climbed inside when I got out of the Navy and I could barely fit by myself.
A couple of weeks ago, the tree took a lightning bolt and caught fire. Mom and Dad said it smouldered for 3 days before the embers finally went out.
I offered Dad to cut the tree down for him, but he thought the tree would fall over on it's own, due to the amount of damage to it....
Heck, you can see right through it!
Here's a picture my sister Kerry took on Father's Day. If you download the picture, or open it in a new window, it's much larger.
