Doubled up at each contact point?
Compartmentalization.
Other than that, unless you put a huge live load together, you're probably good to go...
Eyebolts inline to load or perpendicular?
I had. 1" galvy eyebolt that was 15 degrees out of load line snap during a storm on one of the cable connections supporting my treehouse/ski cabin.
80 mph gusts and a 10k live load might have had something to do with it.
Garnier limbs are the way to go for longevity/ tree health and strength.

Honestly, I don't have any experience with pine. Not sure about its propensity for compartmentalization. I've seen hemlock with 15 year old groupings of nails getting to the point of failure. IE: 8 nails in 12 sq inches through a 2x8.
If the lags are already in I would say leave them, my guess would be that an empty hole would invite more trouble than a filled one. But I'm just another stoopid gross materialist wannabe, not an actual arborist. Maybe ask Reilly, he knows everything.

Hahaha, nice job on the video Gunkie. That stuff needs to be sped up for most people. That's epoxy, right? What do you keep your shop temp at?

'The Two Second Flight'
''Twas once a gusty windy day
A horrendous howling windy day
We put to vote the race that day
When the Trashman took off anyway
His airplane cleared the ground posthaste
And pulled a loop to his distaste
To earth it smashed, a total waste
An aircraft once, now turned to paste
We ate our lunch with nary a word
On a day not fit for man or bird
We needed no vote, for our thoughts were heard
When the Trashman's flight was the final word

Hello skcreidc. Yes epoxy over EPS. My shed is not climate controlled. So I don't glass until the temp is at least 75* F. I use RR epoxy and typically fast hardener until the temps cross 90*. Then I go to the slow hardener. Or if it's a longboard I'll switch over at around 85*.
Today I glassed the deck and the temps were rising. I was getting a big bubble under the glass. So I babysat it for an additional 30 minutes to keep the bubble at bay.
Do you go to the boardroom show? It's next weekend and I hope to make it late one or both days. Will probably be surfing Scripps or Blacks or Del Mar in the mornings next weekend.

Flip flop, whaaaaa? Looks great dude. Nice work.
Gunkie, I'll go to the show with ya. My ankle is still way to F'd up to surf tho.
IF,You still have some larger bubbles and need a way to got rid of them, let me know. Trick works better before you hot coat the deck.

Those treehouses are just incredible. There is a whole science about maintaining tree health regarding anchoring, flexibility, etc. Great stuff.
skcreidc, thanks. No problems with the bubble. I just stay bedside with it until the epoxy begins to tack up. Probably not what the production guys do, but for a garage hack, it works for me. Hopefully see you next weekend!
