DIY Tree House Build a Tree Houseon a tree with your own hands is a pleasure. The nomadic lifestyle does have its advantages: reduced living expenses, no maintenance work, the ability to pack up and go traveling wherever your heart desires. But sometimes even the most inveterate nomads want to calm down a little and settle down.
Round Tree House We are talking about the famousblogger and photographer Foster Huntington, author of a book called Home Is Where You Park It, in which he preaches mobile living in a truck. After years of moving and traveling, he finally decided to settle down in an amazing two-level tree house, which Foster equipped with a skate park to boot.
Wonderful view of the landscapes surrounding the house NowAfter years of living on the road all over the country, Huntington has built Cinder Cone in a tree - something he can finally call home. The property, which he inherited, is located in Skamania County, Washington. The name of the house literally translates as "Cinder Cone" - "a steep hill of tephra (volcanic debris) swirled by the wind." He began his nomadic life after quitting his job in 2011, and hasn't looked back since. According to the owner, the tree house is a unique way to put down roots. As a true outdoorsman, he loved living in small spaces, so having a house is a big step up.
The house is equipped with a stove and everything necessary forlife Friends helped build the house, including my mother, a carpenter, and her boyfriend, a cabinetmaker. College friend Tucker Gorman of Perspective Design/Build helped design two separate 77-square-meter cabins. They are perched on two Douglas fir trees and connected by a narrow suspension bridge. One cabin is for the owner, the other for guests.

Cableways between Huntington cabinsexplained that he prefers the forest to the city because you need to live in a place that would truly inspire a person to live. He has Wi-Fi and 4G Internet. That is, to earn a living, it is not at all necessary to move to a metropolis. And life in a tree is much cheaper than in Manhattan.
Tree houses for the owner and guests HouseThe tree house turned out to be quite expensive. Huntington spent about $170,000 on it and fulfilled his long-time childhood dream, but noted that for that amount he wouldn’t have been able to buy even a parking space in Manhattan.
