Sorry for not writing for a while guys- my dad was up visiting us for the past two weeks and while he was here he built a playhouse!
My daughter is turning two in a week! AHHHHH! I cannot believe it! How does time fly by so fast? And as a birthday present for her my husband and I wanted to give her a playhouse. We were Not however prepared for the amazing playhouse Grampa had in mind. The playhouse has insulation, drywall, faux wood floors inside, working windows, lights inside and outside -and an air conditioner!!
She is a lucky girl! I already told my husband that as soon as she goes to college someday – I am calling the playhouse as MY OFFICE!!
Below are some time lapse photos of Grampa’s special creation- I hope you enjoy!
(Day 1- Grampie shows Daddy where he is going to build)
(Day2- Grampie goes on the first of 100’s of trips to Home Depot. Here he is showing the Pumpkin how to measure!)
(Day 4- Frame goes up)
(Day 7- Grampie goes on the roof to start putting up shingles)
(Day 10- shingles done, walls up)
(Day 12- Electrical wiring goes in, so does AC Unit!)
(Day 14- Drywall up, ready to prime)
(Day 15- Windows & door ready to install)
~Ready for the finished Playhouse???~
(Day 16- Finished. Side View)
(Day 16- Front view)
TAHH DAAAHHHH!!!!!

He is a great grandpa. Your daughter must have been very lucky to have him. And as the mommy, it’s really a good thing since you need not spend for the playhouse anymore. By the way, it turned out to be a very beautiful playhouse. Your kid will surely love it!

Here in Japan we just call that a “house”….
I want one. That would be a great retirement business for him too.
This grandpa should defiantly win the “Grandpa of the Year” Award! Wow!!!
