Treehouse Builders Anecdotes - Canoeing for Supplies


Treehouse Builders Anecdotes - Canoeing for Supplies

Adam Laufer, World Treehouses lead builder, tells a story of river-running (all in a day’s work!). “We needed a creative and artistic railing for the loft we were building. In other words, we needed something to keep the grandkids from tumbling down, while also enhancing the space.

“Having previously noticed from afar some piles of sun-bleached driftwood the river had gathered in its curves and corners, we were sure that our perfect solution would be found somewhere along the river's banks.”

So on a cold winter day, Adam transported his canoe to work. The team trolled downriver to discover the treasures, and crafted a one-of-a-kind “wall” of functional art from driftwood. This is how our team always approaches problems: with thoughtfulness, creativity and artistry.

Says Adam of the unique railing, “Our client is more than overjoyed with the results!”
