  • Man Moves into Tree House to Go Green 
    Reported by: Sonya Kullmann

    Monday, Nov 2, 2009 @07:21am CST


    One man is living out a childhood dream. He's gone green and is living in a tree house.

    Nick Weston is 28-years old. He found himself out of work, and in need of a cheaper place to live than London.
    So he moved to the woods of Sussex.

    A family friend owns the land, and agreed to let nick move into a tree there.
    It took him six weeks, but Nick constructed his own tree house and is now living as much as he can off the land.

    He kills small wildlife and has grown his own vegetables.
    He even has an agreement with a nearby farmer for milk.
    He gets the milk for free in exchange for making some cheese for the farmer.

    Nick does still have a few expenses like ammunition.
    And he'll be able to pay for that.

    He's writing about his experiences and has gotten a book advance.
    He plans to live in the woods for six months, and then he's headed back to civilization.

    Turns out his fiancee is looking for a different kind of high-rise living.

     No, we've been meaning to do it, but haven't
     Yes, the ice storms taught us that lesson
     I didn't know we needed one
     I don't think they're necessary
