Camper playhouse

We wanted to just purchase the printed plans but the website made us purchase electronic and printed. We sent an email but the question was not answered. On page 20, framing curved sides the picture shows you the inside of the 2x4 and not the outside view. It should show it to the edge like in the top of the picture. Thank you. I’m not done with it so I might have more input.

Can't wait to start building this for my granddaughter!

I've order a couple of plans from Paul and I'll be ordering more. They are excellent for DIYers!

Happy Grand daughters

We purchased the larger camper plan for our grand daughters. The plans were super detailed and easy to follow. We tweaked ours just a little bit as we are in Canada and wanted it to be more than just one season. Our grand daughters visit more often (which was the sneaky plan) - Highly recommend Paul's plans. We are ecstatic with the final results.

A watermelon in the Pines!

We found this design when searching for a playhouse plan for our 6 year old daughter. The plans were easy to follow and fit together perfectly. If you have some basic carpentry skills and a little patience, any of these plans would make your home the envy of the neighborhood. My creative little girl insisted her camper be painted like a watermelon, hence the title. Great plans, Paul, and thanks for creating a user friendly plan to make our kids adventures come alive! We need to encourage them to get OUTSIDE and PLAY! Highly recommend.

The play house turned out great!

The plans were very well designed. It made the every step up the build process very easy from purchasing material to finishing construction. We would definitely recommend Paul’s designs.
