Ep 7. Vincent Van Treehouse

In Treehouse Masters season 3 episode 7, titled "Vincent Van Treehouse," host Pete Nelson and his team take on a unique and challenging project for a client whose love of art inspired the design of his treehouse.

The client, named Vincent, is an artist who wants his treehouse to reflect his love of color and creativity. He also has a strong desire for the treehouse to be functional, providing him with a space to work and a place to relax.

The team starts by selecting the perfect tree for the structure, a large maple with a sturdy trunk and strong branches. They then begin to build a multi-level structure that incorporates Vincent's artistic vision into every aspect of the design.

One of the most challenging aspects of this build is the incorporation of stained glass into the design. Vincent wants the treehouse to have several windows that feature his original stained glass artwork. The team works tirelessly to incorporate these windows into the design without compromising the structural integrity of the treehouse.

Another unique feature of this build is the use of salvaged materials. Vincent has collected unique pieces of salvaged wood, metal, and glass that he wants to incorporate into the design. The team has to figure out how to incorporate these materials seamlessly while still ensuring the treehouse is safe and sturdy.

Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the intricate design process, from the sketches and blueprints to the final touches that make the treehouse truly special. The team works closely with Vincent to ensure that every detail is just right.

In addition to the design challenges, the team also faces some unexpected setbacks during the build. The weather is unpredictable, with rain and wind causing delays and making it difficult to work at times. They also have to deal with unexpected damaged wood that sets them back in the process.

Despite these challenges, the team perseveres and ultimately creates a treehouse that exceeds Vincent's expectations. They even surprise him with a few special touches, including a custom-painted ladder and a surprise guest appearance from a fellow artist that Vincent admires.

Overall, "Vincent Van Treehouse" is an inspiring and uplifting episode that showcases the creativity, perseverance, and teamwork required to bring a unique vision to life.
