Awesome little play house design

Very cute little playhouse. Easy to follow instructions. I really enjoyed building this.

There are so many angles in this house that it took me and a helper about a week to complete. I recommend scabbing the angled truss connections with pieces of 2x4 instead of mending plates. It’s stronger and about $150 cheaper to do it this way.
