@Chubbychuck: It worked! You are a treasure. I'm a horrible poster, I felt like a superhero because I figured out how to post pics, html is way beyond my skill level.
Most of the time while building that treehouse I've done it without the trees anywhere in sight, just marked the places where they would go. C/p in and out whenever I checked if something worked. My sim has blisters on his feet, he had to go everywhere. This wont be a house for the elderly, everyone else wont need a fitness center. In life mode the trees are pretty and no problem but I nearly went crazy trying to take good pics for the forum.
@Nhicks: Thank you! The Coast Guard Ship was fun to build but it took more than a few tries to get the proportions right. If you ever try a ship, don't make it diagonally. *sigh* it would look so good but stairs only work straight. I found that out AFTER nearly finishing, of course.
