How should I replace the treehouse supports with legs? Extension to previous post

My original post was asking how I can rip this treehouse down but after reading the comments I think I want to just remove the support from the tree and use legs. As you can see, the tree has outgrown the 2 main supports and is even smashing the conduit that the Romex is running through into the treehouse. It's a hexagon shape and the ladder on one side makes it difficult in my opinion to add support legs to that side. Would I need support under the front and back corners? They would cantilever about 1.5 feet but they are just small corners so I assume support isn't necessary? submitted by /u/throwdisawaybro [link] [comments]
