You've Got To See The Incredible Treehouse This Grandfather Built For His Grandkids
When you become a grandparent, you love doing nice things for your grandkids. And if you're anything like most when you become one, you'll naturally want to shower them with kindness too - because that's what grandparents do, right?
Handyman and contractor Jay Hewitt took his grandpa duties to the next level - actually, three levels - and decided not to simply give his grandkids something, but to build them something...something that they'd never forget.

“I wanted to build a treehouse for them...I said, 'you’ve never seen a treehouse like the one I’m gonna build for them.'"

“I had a treehouse when I was a kid, but it was basically a 4-by-8 sheet of plywood,†Hewitt told the Sun Chronicle. “I never dreamed that a treehouse would be anything like this.â€

All in all, Hewitt's grandkids, who are only 4 and 5 years old respectively, love the awesome mega-fort, but they haven't quite reached their "tree house phase" yet, so they haven't used it as much as he'd hoped. Meanwhile, Hewitt's fascination with tree houses is only growing stronger.

“It would be unique,†Hewitt said.
If they're anything like this tree house, it would be remiss to assume that they would not only be unique, but equally as awesome.
