Grandkids Log Cabin Playhouse

Tom, This is the coolest playhouse I have ever seen. Your grandchildren have to be besides themselves and have smiles stuck on their faces. Very nicely done.

-- Learning is like a door. Open it and there are hundreds more on the other side. Thanks for all the lessons!

+1 on the coolest playhouse!!!thanks for sharing.
welcome to lumberjocks!!!

-- It don't have to be straight,it's just a suggestion!!!

SWEET! One great cabin.

Great job. Looks like happy tenants. They’re all that really matters.

-- Mother Nature created it, I just assemble it. - It's not ability that we often lack, but the patience to use our ability

Thanks for the very nice comments and the warm welcome. My grandkids live in Seattle, 1400 miles away, so I need to put in the extra effort to make sure they always want to come visit us…..... ;-)

OMG! just saw this and I love it. I wish I had both the time and space to build one for myself.

Come visit !!!!!!!, I’d be wanting to move in. As the others have said, that is really a cool cabin. I see the camera is nearby, how about some more photos.

-- Dale West Central Pa. Do it all, before last call.

Tom—Well done! I’m getting design ideas for a playhouse for my granddaughter now, and I like your design and construction. Can you provide a few more details and pictures, like overall size and pics of the interior?

-- People say I hammer like lightning. It's not that I'm fast -- it's that I never hit the same place twice!

Thanks …. The construction is 6” D-Logs that are sawn from 8-10” dia trees. Corners are running butt joints. Logs are doweled and caulked with 6 foot long threaded rods at the corners. Roof panels can be disassembled in 3 pieces and logs can be removed for transport to a new location. The interior floor is 8’ x 10’ ; the sleeping loft is 4’ x 6’ ; ceiling height allows an adult plenty of head room to stand up once inside. The loft gives access to a fixed bridge leading to a spiral staircase the rises to a tower for the suspension bridge the provides access to a ladder going up into the trees to a trapdoor opening to a high deck. The deck surrounds the treehouse (under construction) that will resemble the log cabin when finished. I will post more photos in the album…... stay tuned.

Great project, and with good help. A playhouse has been on my “to do” list for a long time.
