Your daughter is a very lucky girl! I grew up on a farm, we had no money (no debt, either), so all of our toys were homemade. My mother made dolls (and tons of doll clothes), and my father made pretty much anything we wanted that could be made from wood. Doll houses, swing sets, wooden fish on wheels, a helicopter in the back yard that was big enough for us to climb inside (people driving by must have gotten a kick out of that). I would not trade my childhood for anything in the world. The fun we had “helping” my parents make stuff for us, and playing with the finished stuff was absolutely priceless. Your daughter will no doubt feel the same way when she looks back on her childhood. All the money and store-bought toys in the world can’t even come close to what you’re doing, and the lessons you’re teaching your kids. Well done!!!

Hazzard,
Yes! I will be trimming the entire thing with 1×4′s… The roof will be brown shingles (to match our house)… and I am going to paint it yellow w/ white trim… or something like that… flower boxes on both sides, etc…
