Playhouse Roof Update (2012-027)

Of course, when I take a day off to work on the playhouse the temperature shoots up to 90 degrees.  So I was only able to shingle the majority of the south roof.  I still have a little bit to do on the opposite side of the dormer roof.  Then I need to install latches to secure the dormer roof hatches.  Then I need to figure out how to weatherproof the hatches.  I could use shingles, but I think that would make the hatches very heavy and hard too remove.

    The playhouse almost looks like a real house with shingles on. Is it the same color with your house roof shingle? I think it’s cute look at if they have the same shingle color. What do you think? I’m pretty sure the kids will treat this playhouse as a real home.

      Thanks for your comment! Yes, the play house shingles are the same color as the shingles on our house.

    Your work for this playhouse already took a long time and I’m glad to see that you’re having awesome progress with this. I viewed your most recent blogs and I feel that the kids will really enjoy playing here. I haven’t considered having a playhouse but after reading this, I think I can totally consider doing one. :)

      Hi. Thanks for your nice comments. If you are a novice house builder like me, I would think very carefully about committing to a project like this, because most everything is taking longer than I expected. I really thought I would be done in a year, but now it's taken me close to TWO years to get this far. I've never built a house before, so most everything is a learning experience and learning take time. I have to keep my day job during the week, so construction time ends up cutting into a lot of family time on the weekends. I'm very lucky to have an understanding wife! In the end, building a playhouse can be a fun learning experience if you do not have a day job. In my case, I do have a day job so this project is becoming more of a chore and not much fun. But your nice comment helps keep me motivated to finish. Thanks.
