Build a treehouse.

“We took the glass out and replaced it with cool looking stained glass from Chris’s house. Chris’s dad got us some carpet for free (pink, but it still looks cool.) I had an old futon which eventually got replaced by a bed because it rained inside the treehouse for a while this had caused some mushrooms and grass to grow on the floor, but they are all gone now. The well for my parent’s house isn’t too far from the treehouse so I ran a thick extension cord from it over to the treehouse allowing me to have electricity. It also has running water (which I did all myself, thank you.) and a cool sink that we bought at a garage sale for 15 bucks.”

“I built this treehouse over the last year on weekends. I made a lot of progress, then went real slow to almost nothing over the winter. Once the weather got nice again I finished the windows and the paint. Probably about 200 hours of work or so.”
