I had an idea it would be something like that, sorry but this wasn't very enjoyable
i thought it was an igloo, and it would melt
there are so many types that would need repair in a few years but the reason for the repair makes this a good teaser
I agree with grip.
he didn't say it would need to be repaired, he said it would need to be rebuilt.
It would probably be easier to re-build then repair... good teaser
I thought the tree would grow around the treehouse. Just like when you attatch a rope to a tre and leave it ther for a long time, it grows over it.
I think I had a blonde moment- but I thought he was going to get married and have kids, then need more room! Yep, a blonde moment.
i thought he'd built the house on an eroding cliff face -in a few years the cliff would erode, the house would collapse, and he'd need to rebuild it...
I thought he was building the house in a hurricane zone
I saw that teaser in a book somewhere!
I thought it was a gingerbread house... I think I had a blonde moment with DolphinGurl...
