The City told him not to do it, but John Alpeza built a boat in a tree anyway, and now he has been ordered to take it down. The large sailing-boat sized treehouse was built to give his kids an incentive to play outdoors, says Mr. Alpeza. Neighbors say that’s very nice but the thing is an eyesore. The boat-treehouse sits atop a dead tree in Alpeza’s Bloor West Village backyard. If he doesn’t take it down, the City will charge him and get a court order to remove the boat-treehouse. Mr. Alpeza is muttering things to the CBC like “over my dead body.” Hope it does not come to that. The comments that are tagged to the liked CBC story are running agianst Mr. Alpeza.
