The Tree House Man

‘I love trees,’ says James Webb, ‘so building tree houses is a great job for me.’ James works for a company called Treehouse Builders, in Washington, USA. He builds tree houses of all shapes and sizes, for people of all ages.

Ever since James was a child he loved making things with wood. He learned a lot from his uncle when he worked with him in the summer holidays. That helped him get the job with Treehouse Builders. ‘It’s great fun, but it’s also hard work,’ says James. ‘It can be very tiring, and I often have to work in bad weather. I’ve got a tent, and sometimes I camp next to the tree until I finish the job.’

One of James’s favourites is ‘Heidi’s Tree House.’ It is an artist’s studio with two bedrooms, a living room a kitchen and a bathroom. It has got a real fire in it!

So what is the best part about building tree houses? For James, it is the people. They are always so excited when they see their new tree house for the first time. ‘It’s like the best birthday present in the world – a new house in your garden!’
