My five-year-old daughter, Laney, said she wanted a playhouse, and I knew what she meant--it must be set in a spot where a kid can make a world that suits her. And it must be shade-soaked and secluded.
Tips
Measure a 3 1/2" square at either end of the four roof
supports. Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner. Cut along
the diagonal.
For greater ease, build the playhouse with a partner.
Create a walkway from old pieces of plank. Beside it, plant
flowers.
