I had to go through all my photo's and take them off a dying computer.. Thought I'd add them here before I forget about them again.
This place is in Homer...
This was the main house. It's hard to tell because of the tall grass but let me assure you that the home is held up by nothing more than the pole going thru the home and sticking out of the top (it maybe an old tree trunk still in the ground, not sure).
I've heard from people who have met him that this one has 2 floors, electricity, a monitor for heat, a bed, TV, and small kitchen, but no running water or plumbing. He lives in this tree house year round I guess. But all that is hear-say. I've also heard that there's been articles in I think the Anchorage paper about his houses. I say houses because he has a few of these on the property (as seen in the other picture below).
The tree house to the right I have no idea what is use for (as you can see its built around an actual living tree), and the other tree house in the center seems to be a finished green house/solarium. The "house" I showed in the first picture is located just out of this shot to the left about 20 yards. The 3 domes that sit on the ground in front of the solarium have looked the same for several years, unfinished. I have no idea what they're for but I know they're not livable like the other "tree houses".

This house is also in Homer.

Homer again...
Ok it's not a cool house but a very cool fence. They collected driftwood and puzzled it together very neat like for the top of their fence and gate.

This place is just out of Palmer, in the Butte.
After speaking with the owner I finally got the dish on this place. He was very friendly and said this airport tower was originally the Merrill Field tower in Anchorage. In the big 1964 earthquake the airport tower was damaged beyond repair and had to be replaced. Amazingly the very top of the old tower was salvageable. This houses previous owner purchased the tower, hauled it out to his house and made it into an addition. His plans were to turn the house into a bed & breakfast, but unfortunately he passed away. The house was put up for sale and was eventually purchased by the current owner.

This is a house in Palmer.

This is another place out in the Butte.
They have the old ferris wheel, and TONS of old vehicles (junked, restored, and modified) sitting around the yard. The ferris wheel apparently runs on human power. The owner said you get into a seat (inside one of the 4 open circles), and spin around inside the individual circle as the entire thing goes around. My stomach wouldn't take this for a minute! haha
Old El Camino?
An old Buick... I just love the grill on this thing.
An old Desoto. I swear it looks like it's growling with that grill the way it is.
