Dormer Roof Window Trimmings (2012-041)

On Sunday, I added the thin plywood as siding for the small dormer walls (first two pictures).  The acrylic I used for the windows is pretty thin.  It's strong enough as along as no one pushes or hits the windows hard.  But as an added precaution, I replaced the temporary railings I had before installing the windows with more nicely finished permanent railings (last picture).

Dormer Roof Window (2012-040)

The dormer roof window is up!  I actually got it done last night, but I didn't take a picture until today.  The dormer still has small portions of wall that I need to cover with some exterior material.  Right now I just have felt paper for coverage.  I will probably use  thin plywood for the job.  But my primary goal this weekend is to finally get siding from Home Depot.

Playhouse Stealth Mode (2012-039)

I finally got the felt paper up on all the walls, so it feels like the playhouse is in stealth mode ...

Loft Gate (2012-038)

I got the new and improved loft gate finished yesterday, but I didn't take pictures of it until today.  The previous gate was just temporary and pretty flimsy.  I removed it over a month ago.  This new gate is much more sturdy and the vertical elements follow the same construction as the rest of the loft railing.  I opened up the playhouse for the kids to play in during our Memorial Day weekend barbecue, so I wanted to make sure I had the gate installed for their safety.

East Roof Window (2012-037)

I got the second "roof window" installed on the east wall.  This one will require a little more thought than the west window, because the east window is adjacent to the dormer roof.  So I want to make sure I keep things water tight.

Gettin' the Felt On (2012-036)

I didn't get as much done last week as I should have, so I am pulling out all the stops to get more done each day after work, even if I can only spend an hour or half our on the house.  So by Friday of this week, I wrapped more felt paper around the north and east walls.  Then I added water proofing material to the remaining south wall window sills.
