Tremain Albright has spent more than $14,000 building and renovating a treehouse along the Kootenai River in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.


But the Army Corps of Engineers says the house must be torn down or the city could lose more than $128,000 in federal funding.


KTVB reports that the Army Corps of Engineers says the house is too close to a water levy in the river and could damage the levy if the tree were to collapse.


"It's a sad day, I'm not real happy," Albright told the station. "It's very special. There's probably nothing else like it … within the state of Idaho."


Albright says the money he spent on the treehouse was used converting it into a guesthouse, and he had received a special variance exemption back in 2007 that he thought was permanent.


The Army Corps of Engineers will most likely cut down the treehouse on June 15.


"I still feel like this is just an action of big government," Tremain said. "We were totally helpless. The city's helpless, and they are pretty much held under the gun."

He must have had some written authorization to build the house even if it's just a permit. If the town is receiving $128,000 it could reimburse him a portion of what he spent.

I give 3 to1 odds he's a Republican Conservative. To hell with the town, the levy, the river....

You're wrong.

I wouldn't "love it", you are stupid, and the chances of you killing anyone is pretty remote, isn't it?

You mean like the troops who offered their life for their country? That must be for the greater good of society as the vast majority of returning troops, after putting their life on the line, sure as hell don't benefit personally. Many of them don't even have a job to return to and some end up on the street.
