5 star build for a novice builder

These playhouse plans are wonderful! We built the Cafe playhouse plan in two full weekends then took our time painting, adding trim and decorating the inside. We have no previous experience building structures of any kind, but we were able to understand the easy to read plans and build a safe sturdy structure for everyone to enjoy! We love our playhouse and will be building more soon. If you are on the fence or think you can't do this forget all worries and buy your plan! You won't regret your decision!
