  • Complete Advanced Plans.Pdf
    EZ Treehouse Plans Part One Designed and built by Fred Lundgren C.A.D. by John Gallagher First of all, thanks for purchasing our advanced treehouse plans. If you previously purchased the basic treehouse plans for $9.95, you will find part (1) of the advanced plans to be a primer for the step-by-step C.A.D. plans in part (2). We considered offering our advanced plans without the narrative and pictures included in the basic plans but instead, decided to leave the basic plans intact as part (1) because they give an excellent overview of treehouse construction. Therefore, these advanced plans are comprised of improved basic plans plus 40 C.A.D. drawings with a step-by-step narrative associated with each drawing. These plans are sufficiently detailed to remove all the guesswork and many of the errors from your project. So, we suggest you read part (1) and then print out the materials list at the end of part (1) and then gather your materials. Hopefully, building your treehouse with the assistance of our plans will be a rewarding project for all concerned. The first item on your agenda is to pick out the best tree. The tree should have a well defined singular trunk that branches into a limb and branch canopy which is larger than floor size the tree house you are planning to build which will probably be 8 ft x 8 ft or smaller. Alternatively, you can use a tall tree with a single trunk. If you choose such a tree, like a tall pine, you should position the trunk in the inside corner of the treehouse, so it will consume the least amount of floor space.

Kroessler John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY Published in Journal of Planning History: 1-22 (2016) 2 The Limits of Liberal Planning The Lindsay Administration’s Failed Plan to Control Development on Staten Island Abstract: Staten Island grew rapidly after the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in 1964. Mayor John Lindsay introduced a plan to control and guide development there, and encouraged planned unit development. The Rouse Company, then building Columbia, Maryland, was contracted to plan new communities for the southern third of Staten Island to more than double the borough’s population. State Senator John Marchi introduced legislation for the South Richmond Development Corporation in 1971. The plan called for the city to use eminent domain to buy property and transfer it to the Rouse Company, which would also construct residential towers on landfill in Raritan Bay. Behind the banner of private property rights, the Conservative Party led opposition to the proposal, and their influence over elected officials on Staten Island led to the legislation’s defeat in Albany.

  • Salvation in a Grain of Sand O
    SALVATIO N IN A GRAIN OF SAND RECKONING WITH THE OCEAN’S FURY CAME EARLY TO A FAMOUS HOUSE ON LONG ISLAND. BY MAC GRISWOLD N THE EAST END OF LONG ISLAND, O in the Hamptons, fabled or distinguished houses, including some by Norman Jaffe, the architect famed for using the area’s vernacu- lar language of potato barn and saltbox to create modernist masterpieces, are bulldozed at an ever increasing rate or disfigured by hair-raisingly inappropriate additions. Stephen and Sandy Perl- binder’s 1969 Jaffe house in Sagaponack is still standing after almost half a century but has been raised like a phoenix from disaster after disaster. In 1970, Architectural Record named it a “Record House,” igniting Jaffe’s career. Seen from the nearest road, now as then, its boxy profile stands distantly against a blank horizon. Beyond lies the Atlantic. The intervening 27 acres of cornfield, pond, meadow, and dunes are the inspired work of the landscape architect Christopher LaGuardia, ASLA, who has worked on this landscape since 1998, when two fierce winter nor’easters chewed out the then-legal beach bulkhead and the dune that the house originally stood on in less than 24 hours. In 2013, ASLA recognized LaGuardia’s work with the coveted Award of Excellence for residential design. SHANK ERIKA 96 / LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINE SEP 2014 ERIKA SHANK ERIKA LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINE SEP 2014 / 97 Implicit in the award, and driving the appropri- the house to safety—the only possible move, given the circum- ateness of LaGuardia’s work in its Long Island stances, if the house wasn’t going to be torn down.

Their project soon became one of defiance.

  • W Felcome to Spruce Tree House, the Third Largest and Best
    SPRUCE TREE HOUSE MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK felcome to Spruce Tree House, the third largest and best preserved cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde National Park. wThe short but steep walk rewards you with an intimate look at a village occupied by Ancestral Pueblo people between about A.D. 1200 and 1280. The loop trail begins and ends on the mesa top just outside the Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum. Round trip distance is about Vi-mile (1km); elevation change is about 100 feet (30 m). If you wish to avoid stair steps, follow the trail signs into the site and then retrace your path to return to the rim rather than completing the loop. Please take your time and visit this ancient community with respect. Spruce Tree House is one of more than 600 cliff dwellings within Mesa Verde National Park, but is much larger than most. Most cliff dwellings here are set in alcoves in the Cliff House Sandstone, and consist of just a few rooms. As you enter this unusually large alcove site, remember the smaller nearby villages that were inhabited at about the same time. Spruce Tree House was part of an extended community that included a few large cliff dwellings, many small settlements in alcoves, and some mesa top villages, farms, and gardens. Spruce Tree House was first systematically excavated in 1908 by Dr. fesse Walter Fewkes. Early explorers named it for the towering Douglas-fir trees (historically referred to as spruce trees) found in the canyon bottom below the alcove. he hard, reddish-brown Tnodules in the sandstone around you are naturally occurring, hard masses of iron oxide and/or calcium carbon­ ate called concretions.
