Eve

Tom’s first spherical tree house and prototype, Eve is quaint and simple inside. She is made of yellow cedar and is 9’ in diameter. She has two 4’ circular windows, one next to the bed, and the other beside the sitting area. The wall opposite the door provides a galley section with counter and cupboards. She is wired for both power and sound. Insulated, she is easily heated with a small electric heater. Eve sleeps one comfortably but can also shelter a cozy couple. The bed is 42" a hip level the widest point. A combined weight of no more than 300 lb [138 kg] works for two. Two larger people would find it too small and uncomfortable. Eve currently nestles in branches of a warm little grove of cedar and maple trees.

  Moving Eve from the wood working shop to the forest.
Crossing on the ferry to Vancouver Island    On the road to the forest of Errington, British Columbia.     Waiting in the woodworking shop parking lot to have her windows installed!
  Hanging Eve from the trees, building the spiral staircase and the suspension bridge.
Securing the stays     Shinnying and shimming!     Tom just disapears into the foilage.
He flies through the air with the greatest of ease!    How far up the tree did Tom shinny to take this picture?!!!!    From above - in the spring - before the trees leaf in full.    Building the spiral staicase.
     The staircase and suspension bridge are complete.
Eve is securely attached  to the surrounding trees and ready to be inhabited.
Stairs look pretty strudy. Good job guys!
