This is the story of Grant, a young man who started designing and building his own tiny tree house at the age of 11. By the time he finished it, Grant was 13 years old. Enjoy!
“It was inspired by the work of Deek Diedricksen and Wranglestar’s online videos”, says Grant, age 11, as he began what would become a three year project- all in the cradle of four trees.1
