Context is messed up?

not sure how i can declare variables as parameters in a using statement but then use those parameters in my next using statements...?

Program.cs 
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(GetTreehouseHome());
        }

        public static string GetTreehouseHome()
        {
            string treehouse = "";
            using (var webClient = new WebClient())
            using (var stream = new MemoryStream(treehouseBytes))
            using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
            {
            byte[] treehouseBytes = webClient.DownloadData("https://www.teamtreehouse.com");
            }

            return treehouse;
        }
    }
}

You're close, you just need to reorganize the nesting:

            using (var webClient = new WebClient())
            {
                byte[] treehouseBytes = webClient.DownloadData("https://www.teamtreehouse.com");
                using (var stream = new MemoryStream(treehouseBytes))
                using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
                {
                    // task 4 code will go here
                }
            }
