All that lumber, in this economy? Big flex this guy with a tree house!

Built not bought

The real joke is on the guy who bought a Maserati. That thing will be in the shop more than it’ll be on the road.

The guy in the comic should've looked up the prices of used Maseratis before feeling bad, they're like 10-20k. I could afford a Maserati if I wanted to, but I'm trying to save up 60 grand for a down payment on a house on some land a fraction the size of this guy's tree house plot.

No one buys a Maserati. Your lease it.

I just wait by the bar and when a guy with a Maserati comes in, I take pictures of myself in a pleather jacket and aviators with it in the background. Same effect, zero overhead.

If you wear a red vest and hang around outside a bar people will often just give you their cars, sometimes they might even be really insistent about it or even give you gas money.

That's what happens when you let big mechanic design a car. Wake up sheeple!

Always do what you want to do, what makes you happy.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Unless what you're doing involves making other people unhappy.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah.. don't go around making people unhappy. That's not a treehouse you wanna live in.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I like wooden wind chimes. I prefer them over the metal ones. Nicer sound. Hard to find a wood that will suffer getting clonked all day tho. Considering pvc

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago

Maybe try bamboo? Cheap material if you want to diy it, and its already pretty wind chime shaped

Wish I could build a tree house. I can't really afford land to both live on and build a tree house on, and I am not legally allowed to live in the tree house.

There's always publicly accessible land and stealth, depending on the type of treehouse you're envisioning.

Is it illegal and likely to be knocked down? Yeah, probably. But for a brief moment, you may get to enjoy a very basic treehouse.

Hmmm...summer project idea (back in my day kids just made tree platforms rather than houses, which is probably what I'd - theoretically, NCC, you know who you are - do).
