I'm going to leave the siding off this wall, (facing into the back yard,) so I can continue to pass things, (ladders, wood, etc.,) through more easily.
Street side wall.
Cutting siding for the door-wall.
The next task was to get the walls up on to the platform. I started with the back wall, 8' x 8', no windows, (as it faces the back yard of one of our neighbors. I leaned it up against the platform and then shoved it up onto the platform. Once there, I stood it up and tied it off to a tree trunk.
Next was the street side wall, (which is already laying down on the platform in the picture above.) I used the same procedure as before, and tied it off. I then screwed both of these walls down to the platform, and then to each other.
Next, the other sloped wall.
And last, the back yard wall. I way over built this wall, (it was the first one I did, back in December,) and even though it was the shortest, it was the heaviest!
Looking pretty good!
Next I started putting up the siding, street side first.
And then the opposite side.
Next: finish putting on the siding. Move the roof section over near the tree house, and then put the roofing material on it, (plywood, felt, and roll-roofing.) Then use the winch to yard that heavy beast up to the top.

This is an awesome tree house! Any plans for a water mist cooling system? :)
