So since moving to this house over two years ago Cory has always had a vision of building a playhouse that looks like a caboose for the boys. Since there were so many things to tackle in the last two years . . . settling in, building a shed, dealing with an infant again, putting in landscaping and a lawn, constructing a playground, you get the drift . . . this project has been on the back burner so to speak. Almost 2 months ago Cory mentioned the idea to his dad who immediately jumped on the bandwagon and started drawing up designs. The platform for the caboose was built mid-April and since then the walls and roof have been framed and copula attached, outside siding up. This weekend we hope to get the outside portion of the project more toward completion, if the weather decides to cooperate and quit raining for a couple of days. Amazing what Cory and his dad can come up with when they put their minds together! Cory's dad was even able to snag real, functional, double hung windows from a display they didn't need at work! After the outside is completed the inside will still need some attention as a loft and ladder needs to be built as well as a table and bench, but that will come. To say the boys (and I mean ALL the boys, yes Cory and his dad included) are beyond excited about this caboose playhouse is an understatement! More pics to come as construction progresses.
