Paul Gerhards' mother said "you're never too old for a playhouse" and she is absolutely right. When you are ready to build one, this book has some great projects. The introduction explains the materials and hardware you will need, foundation and floor fundamentals, framing, and "dressing up" the finished products. The step-by-step instructions are easy to understand and follow.

This book has some really neat structures for kids of all ages.
