Default Built my boys a Club House

I took the weekend off from working on cars to get started on building them a Club House. They have been doing very good in School so far so I figured I would do this for them...

It is a little over 6' tall, the decking it 12'x12', the inside area is 8'x12'. I left them a 4'x12' front porch area for them to hang out on.

I still have to get the windows, doors, siding and roofing. Hopefully I can get most of it done throughout the week.

Tell us the truth Chad, you built that for yourself so you have a place to stay when you make the wife mad. Smart man, lol. Looks good, I think the kids will enjoy, I know I would, even at this age.

That's what I told my wife. I never had much growing up and I don't have too many memories with my Dad since I lost him when I was 15. I want to give my kids all I can and give them many memories of their childhood.

Its going to be Bad *** when done. It's just hot as hell out side...

Just as long as the wife don't know the plan I will be ok.

What funny is my Oldest was asking where the Kitchen and Bathroom was going to be. We are trying to explain to him he is not moving out... I did Laugh when he told her he will invite her up for Dinner one night. LOL

Sorry, not every Dad out there is a POS...

I'm going to run power and put a ceiling fan in there. I have a window unit we used for Hurricane IKE I can put in there. My light bill is high enough so I do not know if it is going to go in on the back side.
