I don’t think I’ve ever read anything about tree houses, but you don’t have to tell a 7 year old that a tree house would be cool. They’ll already be climbing the trees anyway, bringing up a convenient plank to sit on, then turning it into a pallet you can sit on together, then to cover it with a roof, and when you find our the rain still blows in sideways with walls, that’s childhood to me.

I spent years on that treehouse and then it burned down :(

I remember when I was ~8 asking my grandfather if I could build a tree house and he just pointed at his scrap lumber pile and told me to put the tools back clean when I was done.

My grandfather had an amazingly hands off (by modern standards) style of parenting and amazingly I have all my fingers (I did fall out the tree house twice).

It was a killer tree house at the end of the summer, it is absolutely one of my favourite memories.
