Ethan and ASA have completed a unique treehouse project in the Cabinet Mountains. The treehouse features a 360-degree rotation mechanism using parts from old cars, allowing it to face the sun at any time. The structure is custom-built without bolts or nails, using metal rings and gravity compression. It is made of milled pine wood and offers a panoramic view from 30 feet high. The project reflects innovative design and construction techniques, providing a beautiful and functional living space in the forest.
