I wanted to build my 2 little boys a small outdoor playhouse then when surfing Amazon I have come across ridiculous wooden mansions making our own home look small
I'm now thinking a bit bigger! plans started out at a door 2 windows 4 walls and a roof, now I'm thinking 2 stories with staircase! is that going too far! I draw the line at running water and electrics :)

I see you live in Derby. You may want to invest in a night watchman, or you'll find a family in there one morning.

Sorry......just had a google....getting confused with somewhere else....again. :-\

And as for two storeys...why not. I'd plan it very carefully though, once you start you'll have to carry it through.

Just a thought. I know it's not a 'dwelling' as such, but are the any regulations about the safety of such buildings?
What I mean is..it's like kids living in a full grown house...on their own. ;D

You could build one with pallets. ;) There are plenty of designs and step by step instructions about on the web. The one below is quite simple but you'll get the idea. :y

not exactly pretty! I had thought about using the wood from pallets but with 2 year olds splinters from rough sawn pallet wood would not go down well, and sanding it down would take an age, cheapest way though :)

There are plenty of designs available on the internet and you could line it with ply, tongue & groove or something similar. Cheap and easy, just needs a bit of imagination! :y

I suspect my eldest (nearly 3) would tape the carboard to my youngest 1 or similar!

Nothing wrong with that
Give me 5 minutes with them and i'll tell then about some of the things I used to do to my younger sister when we was kids ;)
Then again, maybe not :-X ;D ;D ;D
If you do build it Pete, take some pickys for us all to see :y

I know there are some wonderful ones that you can buy, but there is something about 'making' your kids something to play in, a bit of effort and all that, you can even get them involved helping to build it. A fab way of Dad and Daughter bonding, I built this for Miss Vamps, when she was 3............. :y :y
