The Mother of All Treehouses

Elizabeth Kuster: This GINORMOUS 12-level treehouse near Marshalltown, Iowa, has over 5,000 square feet of floor space, plus a telephone, a microwave, a fridge, running water, 13 porch swings, a spiral stairway and a grill. Wowzer! As my dad put it, "There are all kinds of floors and places for a kid to fall out of." LOL!
Construction on the Big Treehouse began in 1983; though it's privately owned, guided tours are available by appointment (no flip-flops allowed!). Mick Jurgensen, who built the massive, magical treehouse with the help of his family, says the structure is "only my hobby."
According to the Big Treehouse website, Mick says that, as a kid, he had a special "being alone spot" in the low branches of a maple sapling. He designed the treehouse in his mind first; it took more than two decades to complete.
Hiding out in a leafy, sun-dappled bower with a bird's-eye view is every kid's dream, sure. But in this case, the kids will need to get in line: Mama wants to be alone in her fabulous treehouse for a few hours days weeks!
It’s pretty & unique but much larger than most people have for a home. I bet a lot of homeless people would be thankful just to have a little space of it to get off of the scorching hot street. Sorry but when there is so much need out there it’s hard to be impressed by such blatant excess. Kids with 5 or 6 boxes of toys are considered spoiled yet here’s someone that thinks over 20 yrs. of their life & a small fortune spent on something obviously not needed is something to brag about. What a sad life to be so self focused.
Wow Stacy lighten up!
geez tracy, you must be THE pillar of society!
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

One acknowledges that modern life is not very cheap, however different people require money for different stuff and not every man earns enough cash. So to receive fast loan or just college loan should be good solution.
