James Webb works for a company called Treehouse Builders, in Washington, USA. From a young age, James loved climbing trees and making things from wood. He used to work with his uncle in the summer holidays and that helped him get a job with Treehouse Builders. He builds treehouses of all shapes and sizes, for people of all ages. One of James’s favourites is called ‘Heidi’s Tree House’. It is an artist’s studio with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It’s even got a real fireplace in it!
Building treehouses can be very tiring, and James often has to work in bad weather. Sometimes James stays in a tent near the tree until he finishes the job.
For James, the best part about building treehouses is the people. They are always so excited when they see their new treehouse for the first time.
