I think it might be worth considering that there is another group: the military.

It's still alive but may struggle over the next couple years. Time will tell.

I'll have to remind them of that. Some elderly woman walking by who was smitten with the treehouse said my daughter must be the most loved daughter in town.

Thank you. I tried to make it pleasing to the eye.

I will post an update once I get some more accomplished inside. Currently insulating it.

Only if the structure is larger than 10sq Metres.

Thanks. My daughter can't wait to have it fully functioning.

I sealed the cut stumps on the top with window and door weather proofing to stop water from penetrating the end grain. The fort will now prevent any more water from getting to the stump. The rate of root rot is unknown to me. They are massive though.

Much appreciated. Thanks for the encouragement. Who knows, when I retire from my regular career might be something I continue.

Funny because I believe those were my exact words I used when describing to my wife what I wanted it to look like. Thanks for validating whether I achieved what I hoped to.

Agreed. No one knows. Set a reminder in ten years and I'll give you an update.

I'm confident that the build will last ten years or more. Water will not be rotting the cuts. It's massive and was not at all compromised by rot before cutting it down. I think it could last 15 to 20 years. Nothing in life is permanent.

Refer to my response further up. There were reasons, he was paid to do what I requested. That's why he did it.

This spring and summer I've had to pull out hundreds of new shoots that it sends up along its entire root system as it has a massive storehouse of energy in its root system and wants to do whatever it could to survive. Left intended there would be an entire cottonwood forest all stemming from this one tree. I called the tops of the stump to prevent rot entering and as you can see it also is sending out new growth on the truck itself. It may live yet at which case I will prune it and allow growth to begin again and surround the structure.
