Treehouse Masters Season 8 Episode 7 A Treehouse Fit For A Viking

In Treehouse Masters season 8 episode 7 titled "A Treehouse Fit For A Viking," host and treehouse builder extraordinaire, Pete Nelson, takes on a challenging project in upstate New York. His clients, a family of four, are of Scandinavian heritage and avid fans of Viking history and culture. They have commissioned Pete to design and build a treehouse that resembles a Viking longhouse, complete with authentic details and features.

Pete and his team begin by selecting a large and sturdy oak tree as the anchoring point for the treehouse. The treehouse will be built on two levels, with the main living area on top and a storage and play area underneath. The exterior of the treehouse will feature a sloping wooden roof with prominent gables, as well as a carved wooden dragon head on the front eave.

Inside, the Viking theme is continued with a long wooden table that seats eight, as well as a horned Viking helmet and a stylized Viking ship hanging from the ceiling. There is also a cozy living area with a wood-burning stove, a leather sofa, and a rug with a traditional Viking-inspired design.

To add authenticity to the treehouse, Pete and his team also incorporate several custom-made features. These include a wooden Viking shield with the family's coat of arms, as well as a handmade Viking sword and axe. The treehouse also features a retractable wooden ladder that can be raised and lowered to access the upper level.

As the project nears completion, the family is thrilled with the finished product. They host a grand opening party, complete with a roaring fire in the wood stove and a feast of traditional Viking dishes. The family's children are especially excited about their new play area underneath the treehouse, complete with a custom-made wooden ship and Viking costumes.

In the end, Pete is proud of his team's work on this challenging treehouse build. He is pleased to have created a unique and authentic structure that not only meets the needs of his clients but also honors their heritage and interests. "A Treehouse Fit For A Viking" showcases the creativity, skill, and attention to detail that make Pete Nelson and his team true masters in the art of treehouse building.
