so i asked my daughter (who will be 6) what she wanted for her birthday she said a tree house please. I said what about a doll or a pram, she said no just a tree house ....... so it begins first challenge .... no tree so it was off to my dad's farm to rob an old telegraph poll, cut into half (7ft lenghs) the split into 2's, i now have 4 legs i can hide in the bushes at the bottom. while i was there nicked an old ladder and a old stud wall 3x2" full of lots of nails some old fench panels at the bottom of the garden will come in handy had to buy a £9.99 gazebo to work under as it rains about every 20 minutes got the post sorted and built a base and painted in so blend in colours and will keep the rain out. i have till friday night to have this all finished and ready or i'll be in big trouble

Quality! Gotta love that, and applaud the use of reclaimed materials, turning what most people would take to the tip into something it would costs 100s to buy new is excellent.
Of course being retro rides you now need to hard slam it on the deck and chop the roof ;-)
