Did you have a clubhouse/treehouse as a kid?  |
| |
| I never really had one. We would get blankets and make forts for a night or so but that was it. I got some old wood and made my kids a clubhouse which I put at the edge of the woods in our backyard. They pretend they are in the army and that is their base and stuff and it is really fun. Do you have one for your kids? Did you have one growing up? What things did you do in it? | | | | | |

| | I lived with various relatives at different times, so I didn't have anything permanently. At my grandmother's house I had a favorite tree, and I would tie things to the branches up there and keep them, and I even had a favorite spot where I could sleep without falling off. But I never had a treehouse there. At my mother's place once, my stepbrother built a clubhouse. It was sooo neat. It was actually rebuilt out of a shed that was falling apart, and at one point it had electricity before, so he rewired it so we could use the electricity. It was almost like having a mini house, and I liked it better than the trailer my mother lived in at the time. However, the funny thing was that once we had this awesome clubhouse built, we discovered a cave under a waterfall, and wound up hanging out there even more than at the clubhouse. :P I want to have a clubhouse or treehouse for my son when he's bigger. :) | | | | | | |

| | I had a treehouse which I built with my Dad - my friends used to come over and we'd all sit in there playing games etc. I thought it was really great! My little sister had a playhouse with a marble floor! When we were building it one of the shops nearby was getting rid of the marble front of the shop and gave it to us - that was quite impressive (although I still preferred my treehouse). | | | |

| | Yeah I was always in apartments as a kid so no where to really go to have one. But that sounds really cool to have one with electricity. I am glad my kids have one. Though it isn't fancy, just some old wood, it is somewhere they can do anything to it. Thanks | | | |

| | A cave under a waterfall, lecanis? That's just too awesome! A marble floored playhouse, Mark? Why am I not surprised? | | | |

| | Marble floors? I want marble floors! Yes, Transdisc, the cave under the waterfall was very very awesome. There were a lot of waterfalls in the woods by where my mother lived for a while, but the one with the cave was definitely our favorite. And since very few people lived there, there wasn't really any competition for it. :) | | | |

| | My older cousins had some pretty neat treehouses they had built in the woods where we lived in the summers. BUt alas, they were boys and we werent allowed in. We did however frequent a sprawling old apple tree. It grew along a fence in the cow fields. The branhces sprawled so much that we were able to live in it much like a multi level condo. We had one small problem.. well, a few. The cows were out to get us. SO we would throw them lots of apples when we wanted to got down. This was to keep them occupied. But the bull! OH! The bull!.. He'd see us heading for the tree. He'd start walking faster and faster towards us as we ran screaming for our condo. We'd run and dive through the fence so we could climb the tree from the other side. We we're SO scared, every single time! ONe day, unknown to us, an electric wire fence had been run in front of the wooden fence.. Something to do with some visiting horses. My cousin was the first to hit. She flew backwards. We all panicked and ran away, leaving her at the mercy of the bull. Kids ar curel like that. LOL! | | | | | | |

| | Wow! It sounds like you had a terrific childhood, CurlyRed! We used to have the same sort of problems with wild boars. We'd see one and run up a tree, and of course it would chase us and hang around forever! That's sad you weren't allowed in your older cousin's treehouses :(. You're welcome in my treehouse any time. | | | |

| | Lmao! That is too funny. Well not really. I remember when I was in Germany and couldn't understand what anyone was saying so I ended up talking to the cows because their language is universal. You know MOOOOOO. So I would go chat with these cows every day when I snuck off to have my smoke. Oma didn't let on that she knew I did, until I got a carton for christmas that year. But anyways I ended up getting too close to them and got shocked by the electrical fence, I didn't know it was one and they had some kind of plant that gave my hives all up my legs. Well I stopped talking to those traitor cows after that. Humph! | | | |

| | Hello vicki :) I remember having loads of fun building forts in the house with blankets. I still have a thing for blankets. We had a few crude club houses and tree platforms over the years, my brothers and I and a few friends. They weren't much, but we loved them. We spent hours of great fun in them. A few years ago, I decided to build my children a treehouse. I got a bit carried away. It took two trailer loads from the lumber yard to haul all the lumber. I had the perfect tree ---- it had seven trunks, and I was going to nestle the treehouse in the middle of them. Unfortunately, I came to my senses and didn't follow through. I decided to build a house instead and I am working on it now. I have tried to make it look kind of like a fort, and I have some special rooms in it for each of my boys, plus some other 'club house' ideas in it, such as a firepole to get from the second floor to the first floor. I'm hoping no one figures out I've really just built myself a giant clubhouse!! | | | | | | |

| | My brother and I had a tire swing. we also had this house in the backyard that we painted. Each wall was a different color outside and in. It was ridiculous. But kinda awesome. I played in it a lot when I was a kid. I had a chalkboard inside and a few other things. I loved it. It wasn't really a "clubhouse" persay and definitely not a tree house. Oh we also had a tree that we could climb and play in. That was fun also. | | | | | | |

| | Your kids have it as good as my brother and I did! I wish I still had that chalkboard. It was pretty big. When we got too big for the house my dad used it as storage. So I took the chalkboard up to my room. I can't remember whether I sold it... or what I did with it. I know that I don't have it anymore. But it was pretty awesome and it'd be fun to still have and write on. | | | |

| | I sure did have a great treehouse when I was a kid. Our treehouse was actually a huge old willow tree. It was so old and huge that the inside of the tree was totally hollowed out. My brother and I cleaned out the inside of it, and then added a built in ladder going up to the first set of branches. We used to go up there and sit on the one huge branch and read books. Even though the tree was dead, and partially 'down', it was still deemed safe enough to be a playhouse. We played for hours there being king of the forest, hahaha. Then one day I noticed this huuuuuuuuge snakeskin in the inside part where we had our little chairs, and it was the last time I ever stepped inside of it. (Today snakes still give me the creeps hahaha) | | | | | | |

| | i had an awesome treehouse when i was younger. it was not really a treehouse as much as it was a shed raised up about 10 feet supported by 4x4's on the corners. it had a fireman's pole for sliding down and everything. i would have little sleepovers, sometimes we'd bring out extension cords and hook up a little tv. | | | | | | |

| | I did not have one but always wanted one. We took sheets and thumbtacks and pinned blankets to the walls. This did not make my mom happy. I built my children one. It has three rooms. When they were younger they oldest two played in it, now they seem just to throw old toys in it. | | | | | | |

| | Yes, i did. And I had alot of fun helping my dad build it. For years it was me and my friends favorite hang out spot. Now 19 years later, its still in the back yard. But its rotting and falling apart. Its not safe at all. Sometimes when I mowing the backyard and i look up at it, it brings back many old memory's that I really miss. | | | | | | |
