Update on the Clubhouse

So, it has been only FOUR days since Alex started the kids' clubhouse and he has gotten it almost done. I'm so excited and proud of him!!!! He has never built anything like this and he has done the whole thing from scratch. I think it has turned out great! Here is a few updated pictures of the progress.

Sunday afternoon, I helped him hang the siding and then he worked on some of the trim around the windows.

Monday's project was to do the roofing and that was some hard work he said. I think his hands actually have no finger prints left. :-(

As the process of building has been going on, the kids have insisted on playing inside. There most favorite thing to place so far has been drive thru window. So yesterday, Ashton asked Alex to build a smaller window in the side window for their drive thru. Here is what it looks like now.

Then they decide to build a little table next to the window for her to put her drive thru cash register and head set that my brother and sister in law got her for Christmas last year. It is super cute and they are having a lot of run with it!

Today, Alex stayed home from work because he really wanted to get some work on it done before the rain comes tomorrow night and all day Thursday. He got the front door done. I think it turned out really good. He did a half door so that the kids could get a little extra air and they LOVE IT!

Our high mainteance son, Ashton, told Alex the other day that he really didn't want just a wood floor, so we planned to just get a indoor/outdoor rug and put inside but today Alex found a remnant piece of linoleum and put it in there. I really like it and it will be much easier for me to sweep and/or mop out.

Alex is doing a great job! I think all that is left is a few odds and ends, to paint it and do the landscaping! Hopefully it'll won't take too much longer depending on the weather.
