We have a treehouse in our home, but this is amazing! A guy called Horrace Burgess, in Tennessee built a treehouse 97 feet tall. Its got 11 floors to it, and is about 80 feet high and 12 feet wide at the base:
A building of over 11 floors would be expected to have some extra amenities – and the treehouse Horrace has established is no exception. This particular one comes complete with a mini basketball court – if you thought playing you would never live to see guys playing basketball on top of a tree!
The owner of the edifice is a 56 years old landscape architect by the way, and he say an upwards of $12,000 has gone into building thetreehouse . Asked about where he got the inspiration to build the edifice, he cites a prayer vision he got in the early 90s – going further to say that he built it ‘for God.’ Nobody is arguing with him – and nobody is contesting the assertion that it is the world’s greatesttreehouse either. Meanwhile, building work has not stopped at the 11th floor…the building is still a ‘work in progress!’
Hey Chris
have only had time to watch the first couple of minutes of this – but its absolute genius! Do you think there’s any mileage of using it in schools?
Paula
Yeah definitely – would love to try it with that class at Willowbrook!
