Playhouse Down

We've got a playhouse down!  The old playhouse that Jay made years ago has been taken down.  Well, mostly taken down.  There is still some work to do but the playhouse or fort as it was once known is not there any longer.  I have the floor framing to take down and then the corner posts to remove.  There is also the job of stacking the old wood.  I think we will have a good amount of firewood from the project.  I am also reusing a lot of the wood to make a shed or sorts on the side of the house that we never use.  basically the shed will come off the house and will provide a nice covered and partially enclosed area for tools and equipment.  I don't have an exact design in my head just yet but have somewhat of a vision for what I want to do.  I also have to figure out what to do in the corner where the playhouse was.  I am thinking a new trampoline for the kids.  They have missed the old one and it might be time to give it another go especially since I will have a stationary place for it to be.  Moving it around the yard constantly to mow the lawn and to avoid damaging the lawn was not my favorite thing to do so when Dan went through it last year my feelings were not hurt, in fact there was some quiet rejoicing going on inside.

Jack and I got up early this morning to go and deliver flags with the young men.  I think he manged to get a few flags in the holes.  It was a good time and there were many hands so the job went fast.

Following that and having much open time I took apart a kitchen-aid mixer and was able to clean up the points so that is now functioning properly.  I found that to be exiting.  Hopefully we will get a lot of time out of it.
