I go ahead and kind of rescue them.†Cox said he’s always been fascinated with church architecture. He started building his tree church in April 2011, after strolling his grounds. “I walked out my back door one day and thought, ‘That space needs a church’ — and so it began,†he said. “I cleared the area in April 2011 and made the iron frame, drawing on all the research I had done over the years on studying churches. I wanted the roof and walls to be distinctly different, to highlight the proportions, just like a masonry church.†http://nypost.com/2015/07/06/man-builds-church-out-of-trees/ Doesn't this sound like an enchanting project?
