Yep. Seen it several times. Kids watched an episode earlier today of one in Texas. My 12 year old told me I needed to build then one like it.:o

Funny William, my 12 year old told me the exact same thing - except he thinks we should contact Pete on the show and have him build us one! Not sure my bank account could manage that one...

Yeah that's a cool show, I've seen it a few times. I don't understand though how you build a free standing structure that happens to have a tree through the middle of it and call it a tree house. But I guess when they've spent six figures they can call it whatever they want lol.

More like a giant extravagant fort. That one in Texas was kind of attached to a couple trees though. Never saw what the price of that one was, but yeah a 200 amp service and tiled luxury shower kinda over the top?

I saw that one, I think the lady was using it as part of her spa business. There was a footnote mentioning that over 170 people have used it since it was built to when the show aired, with several hundred on the waiting list.

Watched a couple of the re-runs last night. First time I'd seen one of the shows. Without a doubt, Pete has a great feel for visualizing the final product. They do an amazing job. The ones I saw weren't really free standing. They were attached to the trees. I noticed during the beginning of the shows one of the 1st questions answered was how much the client was wiling to spend. Pretty expensive treehouses unless you were prepared to live in it full time.

Kind of makes you think what it would be like to build one for deer hunting. Pretty easy to hunt all day out of one of those and even spend the evening in it so you wouldn't have to worry about busting deer getting to your stand.
