Advice on Upgrading an Old Tree House?
My dad built this treehouse like 15 years ago when I was a kid, but it’s just been sitting in the yard getting kinda run down. I wanna fix it up and turn it into a chill hangout spot for me and my friends so it actually gets used. The frame’s mostly still solid, but it’s super small since it was made for a toddler. The roof’s falling apart and it’s only about 5.5 feet tall at the highest point. I’m thinking of raising the roof and making the floor bigger so more people can fit. Gotta fix the ladder too and probably reinforce the whole thing. Might even run power from the barn since my dad’s an ex-electrician and can help with that. I know the basics but I’m still figuring stuff out, so any advice or ideas would be appreciated. Also, I’m on a minimum wage budget, so if you know any cheap spots to get materials, that’d be really helpful as well. submitted by /u/finnleysspirit [link] [comments]
