			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes homes slip right under my radar. Sometimes they simply are a little older so I just missed them while I was doing other, non-home related things in my life.</p>
<p>In any case I recently came across a really nice treehouse; maybe one of the bigger (non-fantasy) tree homes I&#8217;ve seen.  Built by Peter Lewis, there is an accompanying blog; <a href="http://treehouseguy.wordpress.com/"><strong>Treehouse Chronicles</strong></a> and book<strong><em> <a href="http://www.tmcbooks.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.futuretitles">Treehouse Chronicles: One Man’s Dream of Life Aloft</a>. </em></strong></p>
<p><strong>This treehouse was a massive undertaking as you can see:</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/11/treehouse-fall.jpg" alt="treehouse-fall.jpg" /></p>
<p>The above is the completed home. Lewis intended this treehouse to be his office &#8212; I&#8217;m unclear if that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s actually used for. The blog is a little scattered but still a great read for treehouse fans. There are <a href="http://treehouseguy.wordpress.com/2007/05/08/slide-show-test/"><strong>slide shows to watch</strong></a> with photos of the building process; scary posts about the <strong><a href="http://treehouseguy.wordpress.com/2006/10/30/wind-wind-and-more-wind/">dangers of autumn and winter winds</a></strong>, and more.</p>
<p><strong>Check out this beautiful winter shot:</strong><span id="more-13599"></span></p>

<p>And an interior view (LOVE the chess table). I don&#8217;t even play.</p>

<p>This treehouse even has some sort of drawbridge. This house looks impossible to build so to find out the detail behind the process you can <a href="http://treehouseguy.wordpress.com/book-endorsements/stunning-book-reviews/"><strong>pick up the book</strong></a>. It also would make a great holiday gift for an offbeat treehouse fan. Learn more about this home at <strong><a href="http://www.blisstree.com/wp-admin/Treehouse%20Chronicles">Treehouse Chronicles</a></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think? Would this make a great new office?</strong> <strong>I say possibly, but not in those crazy winds. Yikes.</strong></p>
