Building A Treehouse In A Beautiful Forest Alone - Part 8: Finishing The Roof Structure

In this series I am building an off grid treehouse cabin in the forest. I build in a sustainable and ecological way in the wilderness and nature. This is episode 8 of The Treehouse Experiment documentary on my channel Building in Nature. The tree house is built in a big oak tree in a beautiful forest in The Netherlands. In this episode the roof structure is build and the final design of the treehouse is starting to appear. The beams for the roof are installed and the (emergency) roof is also installed. Exiting times! It is spring, so the forest is very green and looks great!
I’m Ruud. A designer and filmmaker from The Netherlands. I design and make things.
I hope you enjoy the building process. Have a nice day!

You are like in paradise, hearing the singing of the birds surrounding your tree house. So far, I can see how much planning you have done to make it strong and beautiful.

[@BuildingInNature]

Thanks! :)

[@Miguelarrieta94]

I'm very amazed of all you can do with wood

[@slimedev4920]

11:00 I love that you added in your own hammer sound! 😂

[@BuildingInNature]

Thanks! Seemed a nice way to fix a mistake in the audio. It was hard to record haha

[@tdrifty]

Awesome work, this channel is massively underappreciated. Cant wait to see how it turns out!

[@bdelco_ams4089]

Yay he's back❤

[@shortsweettoo]

I have enjoyed this treehouse series right from the start. Your work is exemplary and your design is unique which is why I look forward to your next video each and every time.

[@BuildingInNature]

Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it.

[@desurajraut8833]

Finally you are back after a long wait, the work that u put in single handedly is commendable. No wonder you take so much time to upload, really appreciate the amount of detailing you put in your work, happy to watch you 💭

[@BuildingInNature]

Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it

[@Patrik38cz]

Your craftsmanship and an attention to detail is actually amazing. Greetings from CZ 🇨🇿

[@kiwigeeknz]

Ahhh. Been waiting for the next episode to drop..

[@PiotrMys]

I actually admire you for more than just the insane quality of this series: that you dont talk to yourself when you build... I wouldn't shut up and that wouldn't be great for the audio :D

[@BuildingInNature]

Haha thanks! Maybe that would also be interesting :)

[@DenisReyes127]

I'm dying to see more videos like this I hope to see how the 🏡 ends as a child I always wanted one

[@BuildingInNature]

Great to hear! It is never too late to start building a treehouse :)

[@WeAreMakingMore]

Weer een mooi stukje progressie! :)

Bedankt! :)

Living the dream buddy keep it up

[@BuildingInNature]

I try to! :) Thanks for watching!

[@danieldelgadovaz]

I've watched all the episodes so far and I must say that this is a very inspiring thing that you are doing. Also is very interesting to see how you execute your constructive method, aligned with the harmony of nature. Can't wait to see how it looks finished. Keep the good work! Greetings from a civil engineer!

[@BuildingInNature]

Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it! I also can't wait to see it finished :)

Hey Ruud! Thank you for uploading a fantastic series. I really admire how such beautiful craftsmanship runs throughout everything you do- the build of course, but also the music and the video editing is a wonder to behold. You are clearly a very talented man and I wish you luck with the rest of this project! I can't wait to see more :)

[@BuildingInNature]

Thank you for the kind words :) I appreciate it. New episodes are in the making!

[@MakewithMatt]

Great to hear!!

[@crtzmo]

I discovered your channel and videos just this past weekend -- watched them all. And today, number 8! It's been an enjoyable couple of hours -- thank you! One suggestion -- the forest belongs to the cat, not the other way around. 😻

[@BuildingInNature]

Haha great to hear. Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@cycosper]

that roof structure is really beautiful

[@BuildingInNature]

Thanks!

[@joshuajackson6442]

So excited to see the rest of the journey

Job well done my friend 😊

Thanks!

[@t0mmy1336]

Your Videos are so chill that you really should add "ASMR" to your video titles. That would end up in a massive sub increase ❤ Keep up the great Work 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! I appreciate it.

Great series, amazing project and superb filming ! Just curious how you know how much the tree can support - I know you've planned the structural design with the weight load in mind but would great to see in future video. Keep up the great work

[@BuildingInNature]

Thanks! You can find information about it online. It is certainly interesting! For big trees it is quite a lot. I will try and add it to a future video 👍

[@imagensqueensinam7786]

Maravilha. Fase 8! Outubro começo uma por aqui. Vou precisar de ajuda meu amigo!

[@BuildingInNature]

That's great to hear! Very cool! :) 💪

[@stephenlangele6813]

Goodness. Nice work but someone get this guy a skill saw, speed square, and a nail gun.. and maybe watch some Larry Haun videos. Your tree house tho and I’m sure it’ll look great when done.

[@BuildingInNature]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to write a comment. If it was a commercial build I would agree, but this is a personal project where speed and efficiency are not the most important. I'm happy with my little setup for now. The nail gun I don't like in the forest, because it is loud (you need ear protection and there will be no birds and animals around anymore) That said, the tools you mention will probably show up in some future episodes when I need them. Thanks for mentioning the speed square, I should use this one more often!

[@PreetSingh-vg4dh]

IF YOU CAN GIVE US EVERY WEEK VIDEO IT WOULD BE AMAZING. PLEASE CONSIDER IT

[@BuildingInNature]

Thanks for the enthusiasm :) every week is impossible, because it takes longer than one week to build. I try to increase the frequency of new video's 👍

The absolut WORST part of these videos... is that they end.
