everyone. My name is Dr Jason Barnes. And, um, my wife has informed me that I'm not coming home. Dr. Jason Barnes works in the emergency room at Krista's Spawn Hospital. I've actually treated, you know, patients positive with the virus. And, you know, trying to think about bringing that home is scary for us. And working on the front lines, he wondered how he could keep his family sing. So I came up with the treehouse quarantine someone to show you a little bit. Welcome to my crib. He and his wife, Jenna, considered buying an RV or even getting a hotel room. But for Dr Barnes, he wanted to be close to family. And the easiest way to do that was a transform this tree house into his temporary home. First, it was just comical like, Well, you could just live in the tree house and more. And I was, like, actually equipped with just about everything you need. A bed takes a little getting used to sleeping on a on a bunk bed, uh, made out of out of cedar, wood, water and food and some water in the fridge. So we got inside here. Looks like pickles for dinner, a bathroom and even air conditioning. Now the setup may not be ideal, but for Dr Barnes, it's all about being close to home. So family time for the Barnes does look a little bit different nowadays. Instead of hanging out inside the home with one another, doctor, Barn sits on the front porch of the tree house while his kids and wife hang out in the backyard. We miss him terribly, being in the house being ableto hug him and be with them daily. The Barnes say the treehouse quarantine is worth it to ensure they stay, save quarantine is serious, and, um, it's the only way we're gonna beat this thing.
