The story of a kids playhouse
Some years ago, after the pool was
wrecked by the weight of a record snow year, we dismantled a part of
the deck. Suffering from the common makers sickness that prevents
you from throwing away good material, I stored all that wood away.
Here's the pile after we got it back out and inventoried what we had
to work with:
The only new wood was the 4 columns and
the cross braces at the base. To ensure (completely overkill)
stability I went for a design where all the columns are leaning
inward.
For extra QA and on the spot design-validation, my dad was part of the build. By working with him him
when I was a kid, I learned to build and to problem solve. I always
loved building things with him.
Here is the playhouse partway during
construction:
Since we finished the playhouse some
days ago, the kids have played in it every day. Like a moths to a
flame all the kids in the street were also sucked into the playhouse.
It is one happy place.
Now let's renovate our old bathroom...
