Turning Junk into Stunning Treehouses

Known on Instagram for the elaborate and chic camper vans he builds, Jay Nelson began working with wood and building structures when he was young and in school. He explains the joy of the hunt that has become integral to his building process, insisting on only using reclaimed wood that he restores himself. "Everything kind of has a story and comes from somewhere," said Jay. "And then also, not just that I know the story, but also visually, they have a story."
Jay tours a treehouse he built in Northern California with Laura Ling, and explains some of the tougher elements of the tiny home's construction process, as well as what inspires his work.

Can I have one built for me how much since you don't buy the items anyway?

[@woodi101]

+Joshua Garcia ...you'd be paying for labor. Which is still expensive.

I wanna build a tree house but i am only twelve so I gotta wait

[@chiefkeef8936]

[@artistsociety]

i also dont have a tree in my house

[@zacharyhentze64]

Haha just go out to your nearest bush with a knife and a good blunt strong pipe or something else you can whack a path through and just start building in a secret spot where it can't be destroyed while under construction and just roll with it

Recycled wood is great and all, but using it for structural beams is a horrible idea.
