The economy almost demands both parents to work to sustain financial stability which might also mean that the parents will spend most time away from home, away from their children.
A tree house for most kids is the ultimate fantasy –a fortress wherein they can be free and where they can establish a territory that is completely their own. Natural and man-made fuses and creates a fantasy land where children’s imagination to run wild. While this might sound rebellious and dangerous for some parents, building a tree house is actually an excellent family project to bond and build strong family relationship to. It will not just promote cooperation in the family but it will also bring out the creativity of the whole family.

Also, you will be able to visualize how you want your family tree house to look like and what safety measures should be implemented. Here are some things you need to consider on carrying out your tree house project:
Location – It will be impossible to build a tree house without an actual tree, of course. But it will be wise to keep the location of the project within your property to avoid conflict with other people. You might also want to check here on selecting the perfect tree for your preferences.
Design – How do you picture your tree house? Bear in mind that the bigger the project, the longer it will take for it to finish. You might also want to think on what activities do you plan to do on this tree house once it is finished. Will you have enough room? Having an actual design will help you estimate on the resources and the budget you will need to carry out the project. You might want to buy a book or consult an expert on this matter.
Material – In general, materials for tree houses since there are elevated should be light but sturdy. It is the actual cost of the materials without compromising the quality for safety.
Tools – It is also important to have the perfect tools for this project. For instance, Milwaukee M18, Milwaukee power tools, and Milwaukee fuel tools are ideal tools to help you out on building your tree house. (See: UnitedTools Clayton)
Schedule of the family – since the main goal of the whole project is to have quality time with the family, it will really be important to have it planned out and which part of the project each member can help with.
Never let the modern times get the most of us. Involve your whole family into fun but productive activities.

A Piece of Wood Doesn’t Always Stay as a Piece of Wood
Trees provide mankind everything it could. Starting from its top branch and bushy leaves that gives shade, fruits that could be eaten, the oxygen people breathe, and its roots that sip the excess water when heavy rains came. Trees can also give its self in exchange of the pieces of wood—pieces of wood that could be transformed into creative and useful things for man. Trees have been doing all these for as long as they’ve been here.
Woodworkers, with their Milwaukee power tools, are able to make products and furniture unimaginably done from the pieces of wood cut from trees. Wood crafts that vary from simple four-sided center table, to more intricately designed wall decors and shelves, and to a fully functioning automobile.
They were able to make wooden furniture that lasts for a long time. Wooden furniture is known of its durability that endures through family generations. Tables and chairs made from wood are also easy to clean, wherein regular swabbing may keep it looking good for a long period of time. Wooden furniture can easily blend with the other furnishings inside the house because of its earthy tone. In addition, using wood as a material in furniture and house construction help lower heart rate and reduces stress.
Aside from using wood as a material in furniture making, amazing hands of woodworkers can also make cute toys from it. Using Milwaukee power tools, it is easier for them to cut pieces of wood into small pieces that will be used as toy parts. Making toys out from wood benefits the children’s imagination and thinking skills. Wooden toys which are not automatic and as appealing as plastic toys may look let the children think as they play. They don’t also have toxic materials that children may acquire through contact. Wooden toys vary from the different animals, vehicles, princess’ tea set, fruit slices, kitchen tools, and cars.
But a Hungarian man, Istvan Puskas, actually made a wooden care. He developed a fully functioning automobile made out of wood. There are only two things that were not made from wood in his car: the car engine that comes from a Fiat 126 and the steering wheel that came from an old Mercedes Benz. He used an old beer barrel as the fuel tank, and the frame, gears and axles are made from timber. He has built the wooden car in four months to keep him busy during winter season. Although the car can’t be registered, the police allow him to use the car in his village. He also made a three-wheeled motorcycle and bicycle all from wood as well. His motorcycle is constructed mainly from pine with horns of Grey Hungarian cattle as handle bars.
These creations, from the simple yet durable home furniture, to the cute and non-toxic wooden toys for children, and to the fully-functioning automobile and motorcycle, proves that a piece of wood cut from trees would not stay as a simple piece of wood forever. Wood crafts extend and preserve the beauty and value of trees even inside the household.
