Seven Trees Support my Faith

"Where do we start?" 

"Anywhere" said the volunteer at the world's largest treehouse in Crossville, Tennessee.  

I began to climb the forty foot staircase that wrapped around a thick tree trunk. 

Oh, I thought when I was about eight feet above ground. The treads were uneven, the floor was slopped and the floorboards were spaced very far apart, this is really not to code. The staircase lacked a handrail too. 

"Yep," I heard the volunteer tell another visitor "Horrace built it all himself, we help maintain it, but when it comes to anything structural he wouldn't let anybody touch it, yep the whole thing is supported by seven trees" 

Great.
