Tree House Being Chopped Down By The Feds!

631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716

An Idaho man’s $14,000 tree house is being chopped down by the feds. Tremain Albright has spent much time and money renovating his tree house along the Kootenai River in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

The city is demanding that the tree house be chopped down because the city could lose more than $128,000 in federal funding. Engineers that investigated the tree house reported that the house is too close to a water levy in the river and could damage the levy if the tree were to ever collapse.

Albright is extremely saddened by having to knock down his tree house. He converted the tree house into a guesthouse and in 2007, he received a special variance exemption that he believed was permanent.
