97-foot treehouse
By Andrew Liszewski
Think you had the world’s greatest treehouse as a kid? Well this guy’s got you beat. Horace Burgess’s treehouse is located somewhere near Crossville, Tennessee and stands over 97-feet tall thanks to the 80-foot white oak tree it was built around which also happens to be about 12-feet in diameter at its base. It has 11 floors, somewhere in the neighborhood of 8,000 to 10,000 square feet, a miniature basketball court and is held together by roughly 258,000 nails. If you can think of a better way to spend $12,000, I’d like to hear it.

That's amazing! I'd have loved to have that as a kid. Well, I'd love it now! It looks a little...unsafe, though.

Yea, if I was 12, I'd be all over it. Now, at my *older* age, I wouldn't step foot in it because it looks like its going to collapse to the ground as soon as you attempted to enter it.
But I love the concept!

I love it.
I hope it does not kill the tree.
I hope it damn well has a lightning rod.
Two words: FIRE TRAP!
Still love it though.
