Pre-fab for a treehouse in Indiana September 5, 2008

Here at TreeHouse Workshop we pre-fabricate as much as we can.  At our shop in Fall City, Washington, we’ve built the main structure of a treehouse that will live in a tree in Indiana.  We’ll take it apart and ship it to the site.  We also pre-fabricate windows.

First stop on our way to the World Treehouse Conference was Joy & Harvey Shinerock’s “It’s a Burl” gallery in Kerby, Oregon.  What a place!  Here’s Judy perusing a few of the thousands of burls there.

 They have a few great treehouses on the property, built by Harvey’s son Dan.
 

Here are Harvey and Dan.
