Thought I would open a new thread for the freecycle playhouse I picked up.
So far it has been...eventful. It took three trips and three different types of transport to finally get all pieces home. Then, the base which my OH left leant against the side of our house (weighs an absolute tonne, it took 3 of us to move it, with effort) fell on next door's car during a freak accident in the the middle of a night that wasn't even windy. So, the free playhouse is suddenly turning out very expensive !
The jinxt base;
Bits and pieces:
OH helping with the stirpping of one of the very peely sides:
The front with one shutter slat stripped:
Ta-da, 2 hours work roll and the shutters and window frame on one window are nearly ready for staining:
The playhouse is mahoosive! 9 foot to it's tallest point, 8 feet wide, 8 feet deep from the front of the verandah to the back.
I think the plan is to paint the main body of the playhouse ivy green, and stain the windows, shutters, door and pelmet honey. I'm going to put a house number and name on the door too.
