The Treehouse Guys is a reality TV show that showcases the work of Chris "Ka-V" Haake and James "B'fer" Roth, two expert treehouse builders from Warren, Vermont. In season 1 episode 1, aptly named "The Treehouse Guys," viewers are introduced to the duo and their business, The Treehouse Guys LLC.
The episode starts with Ka-V and B'fer receiving a call from a potential client, who wants them to build a treehouse on her property in rural Georgia. The client, Jill, has a very specific vision for her treehouse - she wants it to have a rustic farmhouse vibe, complete with a porch swing and a copper roof. Ka-V and B'fer are excited about the project and head to Georgia to meet Jill and survey the site.
Once they arrive, the guys meet Jill and take a look at the tree she wants her treehouse built in. After some initial measurements and observations, Ka-V and B'fer get to work. They start by installing a pulley system that will allow them to hoist up the building materials to the tree. Next, they build a platform on which the treehouse will sit. This is no easy feat, as the tree is very tall and they need to ensure that the platform is level and sturdy.
With the platform in place, the guys begin work on the floor of the treehouse. They use pressure-treated lumber to ensure that the floor will be strong and durable. Once the floor is in place, they move on to framing the walls. To keep with Jill's rustic farmhouse theme, they decide to use old barn wood for the walls. This adds a lot of character to the treehouse and gives it a unique look.
As the walls go up, Ka-V and B'fer start to put in windows and a door. They also start work on the roof, which will be made out of copper, per Jill's request. The guys are excited about the copper roof, as it will take some time for the copper to patina and turn green, adding even more character to the treehouse.
As the project continues, Ka-V and B'fer encounter some challenges. They have to figure out how to attach the treehouse to the tree in a way that won't damage the tree. They also have to deal with some unexpected rain, which slows down their progress. However, they persevere and eventually, the treehouse starts to take shape.
In the end, the guys are able to finish the treehouse on time and on budget. When Jill sees the finished product, she is thrilled. The treehouse looks just like she imagined it would and she can't wait to spend time in it. Ka-V and B'fer are also very proud of their work and are happy to have made another happy customer.
Overall, "The Treehouse Guys" episode of The Treehouse Guys is a great introduction to the series. It showcases Ka-V and B'fer's expertise and passion for building treehouses while also highlighting some of the challenges that come with the job. Viewers will enjoy seeing the beautiful finished product and will be left excited to see more of Ka-V and B'fer's treehouse building adventures.
