Building a Playhouse (Part 2)

Time for an update on how the building is going.  We finally got the playhouse roofed, with a donation of some extra shingles from Aunt Susan.  It looks pretty good for our first time.

Then we put in the 2 windows and added some shed siding.

 Then we added some white metal edging around the roof.

 The corners were finished with some trim boards, and the outside is done. 

Now to put on a door, add electricity and sheetrock the inside.  More later.....

Building a PlayHouse

 Our nephew and niece are building a new house just around the corner, and we are so excited for them.  Cory said we could use some of the scrap lumber from their house if we wanted to, so we decided to build a playhouse by the swings.  It's crazy how much lumber is thrown out from building a house.  We figured we would have to at least buy some of the 2 x 4's, but we were able to frame the whole thing with scraps! 

 Originally I thought it would be a fun place for the grandkids to play, but the teens are already making dibs on who is going to sleep out there first!

See the piles of siding?

Jayd putting on the last couple of pieces.

 

We have it all framed and sided now. Roofing to come soon!

Dan's Dream is Finally Reality

Dan has been working for about 11 years writing a book. He joined a writer's group and did a lot of editing and proofing and hoping that one day it would actually get published. After a lot of hard work the books arrived this week! It finally happened! Hurray!!!!!
