He used leftover materials to build it, including lots of old windows used maily for walls, so I&#8217;d imagine it would be a very chilly home in Winter&#8230; but imagine waking up early every morning to the smells of cedar and with all that light streaming in on all sides&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/pics\/weblog\/treehouses\/pilchuck-2.jpg\" alt=\"Inside his old abode\" title=\"Buster replaced the window pane beneath the bed with stained glass, after he kicked it out in his sleep.\" \/><br \/>\n<em>These pictures, along with the full story of this treehouse and other inspiring tree abodes can be found in the book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62}3A{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62}2F{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62}2Fwww.amazon.com{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62}2FTreehouses-Art-Craft-Living-Limb{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62}2Fdp{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62}2F0395629497&amp;tag=yummywakame-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325\">Treehouses<\/a> by Peter Nelson.
