On August 5, Mary and I toured the Big Treehouse located on Shady Oaks Road just north of Highway 30 East in Marshalltown. My friend Chris joined us as we walked through the 12-level, 7,000 square-foot house in a tree.
There is a spiral staircase, electrical wiring, and running water--but Mary's favorite feature was, of course, the television! Since the Treehouse is celebrating its 25th year, Mary and I just happened to be there the day the KDSM Fox News crew was there doing a story, and Mary and I both got our 5 seconds of fame!
On August 31 when we went to the Renaissance Festival in Shakopee, MN, Mary was star struck when we got to actually meet the architect and builder of the Treehouse, Mick Jurgensen. It was a chance meeting as he and his family just happened to be attending the Festival the same day. Mary was ecstatic to meet the brains behind the placement of a TV up a tree!
