Dad & the boys build an Epic Playhouse (Part 1 of 2)

This summer, we decided to build our 2 sons a playhouse that will last us for many years! I was able to build in my spare time, and the boys would come home and help where they could!

    Love what you said about teaching children to learn to build with their hands.

    I love seeing on this video, that real men/fathers still exist. Way to many parents (mothers and fathers), concentrate on themselves and have no time for their children. Good job! Your kids will remember their playhouse, and how their father built it for them.

    Great job and really inspiring. Thank you. I'm about to start a similar project for my daughter in 4 weeks time during the Summer holidays over here. Can you please provide some details on size of lumber for the supporting posts, distances apart, lumber for the joist etc. Sorry for these silly questions but I want to make it safe for her - and she'll (11 years old) be checking me at every step in any case. One final question (and thanks in advance) I'm reasonably fit but had unexpected heart by pass surgery last year - this is why I want to do this now - so my question is can this project be undertaken provided you take it easy ? What I mean that there is nothing really heavy involved (more than say 30kg bags of sand to shift).
