The root cause issue with the double sink, I suspect, based on loving me over in the past... The waste line come out of the framing is to high for a double sink.

It doesn’t look like there are any hangers or braces holding the deck to those supports?

Okay, this doesn't look like a flood zone, so why is the house on stilts? I mean, I guess if it was in a flood zone they'd know how to build a house on stilts properly so it wouldn't be here, but what's the point? Just incredibly lazy so you know they only way to get your steps in is to put in a pointless staircase between your car and your house? Secretly very worried about the "zombie apocalypse" and want fortifications you can pass off has quirky?

Airbnb. I guarantee it’s so they can market it as a treehouse on Airbnb. I think it’s attached to four trees, which is the only reason it’s standing at all. I still wouldn’t trust that poo poo.

Yeah, that screams ~quirky insta-ready rental~

My only real question is whether someone bought property explicitly for this purpose, or if they're running it out of their back yard.

It very well could be, when "hunting" is a pretense to get together with your buddies and watch football and drink beer.

There's no plumbing or electricity AFAICT, but that shouldn't stop anyone.

Pretty sure that is just a grown-ups tree house. A place where the guys congregate at 5pm to drink and smoke while dinner gets made. The one in our neighborhood was three stories. Not sure what happened to it after the divorce.

And I was gonna say the whole concept of an upscaled treehouse is a ludicrous fire hazard, which may be the Australian in me but I'm pretty sure is a far more universally applicable instinct.

Looks like a grey flexible electrical conduit and possibly a darker water line going up the support closest to the grill but yeah, I don't see any drain plumbing.

We had a few contractors over to quote on replacing a 2nd story cantilevered deck. The last contractor was the only one to tell us that he would only do it with a signed engineering report with drawings. I think we'll go with him.
