Publisher's Note Tree Houses capture the imagination of the child in all of us, and they have never been more popular than they are today. This inspirational yet thoroughly practical guide shows even the most inexperienced weekend carpenter how to design and build a lifetime of memories for the entire family. With more than 200,000 copies of their popular Weekend Project"books sold. David and Jeanie Stiles have become America's First Couple of do-it-yourself woodworking. In Tree Houses You Can Build, they explain basic building procedures through clear, simple instructions, and nontechnical line drawings that illustrate every step of the project, from the earliest sketches to the final coat of paint. Rather than focusing on specific, ironclad plans that do not suit the realities of tree house construction, the Stileses outline five basic designs that can be adapted to virtually any set of conditions -- one tree, two trees, three trees, even a free-standing platform design for where no trees exist. In all instances, they emphasize safety for both builder and children.
