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.
