  1. My sisters and I built our own treehouse from lumber scraps laying around the site from the house my parents were building. That, a few cheap hammers, no saws or power tools and a TON of 10d nails from the local hardware store. It wasn't anywhere near as sophisticated as this but it was three levels, between three trees. The bottom level was enclosed and the if the number of nails used was any indication, it was quite sturdy. Of course there were no safety rails on any of the levels up in the trees. We needed that lumber to make more levels and we used our own common sense to avoid falling. Yeah we had a couple mishaps, but we spent days out there during the summer figuring out how to make what we had work. It's one of my favorite memories of being a kid.
