Playhouse - Before Pics 2018-03-26 https://ift.tt/2HLKtCi, this was probably a playhouse at one point, and I plan to fix it up to to be a playhouse once more.I have a budget of about $500 to make this an enjoyable, safe place for my two daughters to play. (6 and 2, currently)My plan is to keep the existing frame of the structure intact. Build a subfloor with studs to get the first level off the ground a bit. Wall the interior of the lower level with plywood, and attempt to seal it completely to avoid wasps getting through. (I know, that's probably a stretch, this thing was full of wasps last year) I would replace the existing window and possibly add one or two more. The barn style door would be completely rebuilt. With the new sub floor, the new door would be a few inches off the ground so it won't get stuck in the grass like it is in the pictures.Once the interior of the lower level is done, I would move on to the interior of the upper level. Replace the thin plywood floor. Replace or rebuild the door. Replace the window. Cover the inside with plywood and attempt to seal it.Once the inside of the upper level is done, I would strip the remaining parts of the exterior walls off, and cover with plywood. At this point (or sooner) my budget will probably be reached. Maybe down the road we can cover it with some vinyl siding.There will be, at the very least, a ladder or a simple staircase built to access the upper level. Potentially a rope ladder or rockwall kind of thing.I would love to hear what you all think of my "plan". Thank you in advance! via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2CFdrzv
