My mate Derryn invited me to come and help him to build a playhouse for his kids.
His mate Chris was also roped in.
In turn I called my mate Peter (Goose) to see if he wanted a break from hiis lovely mum in law....... ;D
I was up at Derryns place by 07.30...... met by a very sleepy Post Olympic opening ceremony host.
A cuppa tea later and I was met by this ....
Chris came along a bit later.
He is a very handy and capable handyman and chippie.
The Materials supplied with the Playhouse kit leaves much to be desired, so Derryn actually did buysome sheets of OSB and more treated timber to be used for the base.
We overlaid the supplied flooring and cut the boards to size.
Framing the flooring
Once the floor and base was sorted, things started to come together much faster, but a couple of slip ups along the way saw us dismantling and rebuilding some of the sides.
At this point, Helen came back from the shops and took a pic of the four of us.
Did I mention that it is a double storey ???
Chris supervising and Peter holding up the monkey bars.
I missed out on taking some pics at this point, so next up we were at this point.
Roof battens in place.
Roof panels going up
Roof felt.... magic stuff. Makes you realise most of the hard work is done.
Door hanging needs much supervision.
Last job was to add some trellis to the side so that people did not lose an eye on the corner of the roof.
JOB DONE !! (Paint to be done by Derryn and the kids)
There you go...... 9 hours including sandwiches, coffee and calculations.
Hope you are impressed with this team effort.
