I have a few photos from another weekend project so have decided to post this also, most is from memory, so forgive any omissions.
Pa1nters Cubby House in the previous weekend project post is well worth the look if you are interested <link below>
Weekend Project - Shade Sails
The wife decided that the kids needed a cubby house in which to play (and store their miniature tables, chairs, kitchen, tea set etc).
Pre-Built cubby houses are expensive baby houses and we only had to look at a couple to decide it was too expensive an option for us. Though they looked great!
Pre-Built and DIY Kits… where do you start?
$1,000.00
$1,500.00
$2,000.00
$2,500.00
There are also some great DIY kits out there; again price is a factor though
This project took a few trips to Bunnings as we worked without a plan and guestimated what we needed on the first visit (plywood, posts, nails, . The Bulk items were okay; we just required more of the smaller materials.
The cubby was built to be under cover and the patio cuts down on the heat, its also moveable to a section of the patio that allows us to get larger items past if required.
Tools:• Saw
• Hammer
• Nails
• “Hard as Nails”
• G-Clamps
• Measuring Tape
• Mitre Square (I had one in the shed)
• Pencil
• Drill & Bits
• Paint Brushes
We started with the floor and walls
As well as the Walls (and time for the G-Clamps, or a reasonable sized brick) it was time to put together the Roof
