Description
As he tells the story, in 1993, Horace Burgess was praying when god told him, �If you build a tree house, I�ll see that you never run out of material.� A self-taught carpenter and landscape architect, he has worked almost constantly on the structure since then and he's not finished yet. For fourteen years, Minister Burgess has been adding to the tree house using recycled pieces of lumber from garages, storage sheds and barns.
The tree house has 10 floors, averaging nine to 11 feet in height and measures between 8,000 to 10,000 square feet. It is topped by a chime tower weighing 5,700 pounds equipped with 10 oxygen acetylene bottles repurposed as bells.
The structure is built around an 80' white oak tree with 6 other supporting trees.
