But only because of these wicked cool tree houses:
Tom Chudleigh set out to build boats and ended up making these sophisticated treehouse spheres that are suspended via wires from old-growth trees or any other stationary objects. He first constructs a wooden frame, and then surrounds it with laminated wood and a clear fiberglass shell. Looks like a great place to meditate, hang out, or even live for a while.
Starting at $45,000, his plans are evolving to include a separate bathroom sphere, and he’s adding plumbing, electricity and other amenities.

I want one!!
It wouldn’t work for me, since I don’t like heights. Get me too high up on a stepladder and I start to worry. Yet strangely I could imagine myself parachuting. Go figure.
All that’s mising is a 52” plasma HDTV in place of the lower bed and a 2000watt 7.1 soundsystem.
So cool. They’re like those houses by the lake in Riven.
With power and plumbing (not to mention TV and Internet service), I’d totally want one.
