Grandfather Builds Epic 3-Story, 40Ft Treehouse For His Grandkids

277

ADVERTISEMENT

Jay Hewitt is a handyman in Massachusetts who is definitely in the running for grandfather of the year. The experienced contractor is building an epic, 3-story, 40-foot-tall treehouse for his grandkids and family to enjoy.

Before his 5-year-old grandson and 4-year-old granddaughter were born, Hewitt said, “I wanted to build a treehouse for them. You’ve never seen a treehouse like the one I’m gonna build for them.” He had enjoyed a treehouse in his own childhood, “but it was basically a 4-by-8 sheet of plywood. I never dreamed that a treehouse would be anything like this.”

Hewitt began building the treehouse about a year ago. He currently intends to sell the entire property, but if he doesn’t find a buyer, he plans to continue expanding the treehouse.

    There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

    Why sell the property when you've built such an epic and unique tree house? I'd never want to get rid of it!! Love it!

    If it's for the grandchildren, why sell? It's nice but actually more of a house built around a tree than a tree house.

    Wrong on so many levels... the self of entitlement given to children and the fact this twerp could have donated his time/materials and built this on the ground for a needy family

    the kids are too young to spent too much time in the tree house yet, give them a couple of years and you won't see them anymore....but in the treehouse!

    Wonder how close the neighbors are, and how they feel about a tree house that massive!

    Let's hope the state doesn't have an ordinance against the building of it ...

    I don't think it should ever be sold outside the family. That is how big one man's love is for his grandchildren.
