Here we are on day 3 and I’m at 24 1/2 hours into this project. I am almost wishing this was my own. This is looking more awesome than ever. On part 2 I had left off with the peak of the main roof with the cupola on it. Now for part 3 I will start off with finishing the main roof.

Now don’t be to scared but here I am working on the peak vents.

This next picture is going to be what they call the front porch and the roof trusses that I also had to put together.

Of course my building partner Tyler who was hamming it up had to try out the fancy windows that open and close. Believe it or not the shutters open and close as well.

And here is the last thing I did today. I built the swing arm and hung the swings and slide. Looks pretty impressive if I do say so myself.

As before I want to thank my wife Heidi for all her help with sorting parts and picking the right pieces. If it wasn’t for her helping I would not be a far as I am. There is a part 4 but I can also call that the finale. All I have left to do is put the slide together and secure it to the right side of the house and put together a picnic table that goes inside the porch area.

Oh ya I almost forgot that the area under the main house is the sandbox which is suppose to take approximately 16 bags of play sand. And you really can’t see but, the back of this play house is going to have a 4′ high picket fence so the kids won’t fall down the nasty, steep slope that is back there.
