6: 07 Integrate the trunk into a sleeping area. Could you imagine waking up in the morning with the trunk of the tree as your ceiling? And then make it kind of a fold-away kinda deal so you can still use the space for other things during the day or when you're not there. If you want to get closer to nature, sleeping under a tree is about as close as you're going to get, lol.
Ooh. or better yet. depending on how much work you want to do. Build yourself a small bunker with timber/wood supports and have the entrance be under the tree trunk. That would be really cool, but a LOT of work.
17: 54 The only comment I've got about the kitchen is to overlap some planks over the cracks in the little covering so you don't get water through the cracks if you're trying to cook in the rain.
19: 27 Instead of cutting all the way down to the split on the root, figure out a good sitting height and cut into the top section to make it level where it'll be most comfortable to sit on. You could then adjust your fire position so you can tend it while sitting on the tree root bench. :D

For the two areas around the trunk, I'm thinking make one the main 'living' area, while the other is a store and working area, and keep the trunk height as part of the division. One of the other comments suggested carving shelves into it and I think that's a neat idea.
You could maybe look at using some of the clay you're on to make a kiln or similar for making bricks or slate, or possibly use some of the space for tanning or meat/fish smoking. Long term even you could make it a more elaborate workspace - maybe even something crazy like a forge, with a more elaborate sleeping and lounging area on the opposite side of the trunk.

What if you dug out under the trunk a bit. Then hang a hammock on the trunk. It could act as a bit of a rest area. You wouldn't want to sleep on the ground there because I fear water would gather. But a hammock under the trunk would give you shade. I think you might have to dig out under it a bit. Use the trunk as a big roof

Yeh, just trim back the top half of the log and keep the bottom the natural length. Maybe level the top out for a level bench, but don't do anything to stress the integrity of the base of it. Great work you and your dad are doing. Love watching your videos. Thank you for another great show!

The trunk is settled so I don t think anything of it should be removed, I d even go so far as to add reinforcement to prevent any future movement/roll over due to wood rotting, or breaking away under weight as it continues to settle during wet weather, etc.

Am I the only one thinking of a nice thatched roof over the tree root to make a nice dry shelter you can make it large so it goes from one wall to the other that way you can use the other side of the root as storage wet clothes, backpacks and so forth

I have to say, I thought your Dad's makeshift post support was going to be a set of bushcraft nun-chucks and I got excited, but still useful nonetheless. I vote to dig out under the stump/trunk of the ash to make a subterranean shelter.

I would leave the tree now it adds character. Make a area on the left for splitting wood or something and use the the rest for what ever you like cooking or a shelter? Idk haha but I hope you make a free house in the future!

Cob oven next to kitchen! Can t recall if you ve ever done one and maybe you can get modern materials for longevity but that style of oven would be a fantastic addition to your construction and culinary capability.

Root balls like that have been known to snap back into place, people sleeping under them have been killed unfortunately. That one looks safe, just thought I'd throw that out there for people that don't know.
