My playhouse project - "Marley's Nook"

Thought i would post it here instead of stories and photos. Im going to add up the total cost as i go along, just so i can keep a note. If i write it down i have an obsessive compulsion to write it again and again and again :oops: :?

Might also be useful to someone anyway...

Will add to the thread as i go along.

Where did you manage to get a playhouse for £80 for? I am looking all over and having trouble finding them that cheap at the minute!

Its all being done for my little trio of bunnies moving in with me in the next few months!

Looks like bunny palace now your playhouse :D

Cost Update:

9th April:Weld Mesh = £7
Cuprinol Garden Shades (sample pot) = £6
Padbolts = £3.99
Peter Rabbit Ornament :) = £9.99
Lino = £5
Cat Flap = £18

TOTAL SO FAR = £133 + £49.98 = 182.98

...starting to add up! :shock:

More pictures coming tomorrow.
This week ive painted the pelmets cream, painted the run green, FINALLY managed to hide the awful brush strokes on the inside (note to self: DO NOT paint the inside of sheds/playhouses AGAIN!). Ive also put the mesh onto the frame for the internal door. Still trying to remove the celafane off the inside of the windows too.

This weekend, im hoping to get the rest of the celefane off, lay the floor, put the shelves up and attach the kickboard and internal door. If the catflap comes i hope to get that attached. Then at some point in the week, i need to get some brackets to fix the run to the side :)

And the damn birds have pooed down the back of it already! :censored:
