The finished product
is special, unique, durable, enjoyable, and
as eye-catching as any full-sized lodge.
The Lewis playhouse
construction process:
Designed to last, the floor frame
for the structure is made out of pressure treated 2x8
lumber with a double rim joist all around. The
subfloor is pressure treated 3/4" plywood as
well.
Sandy checking
out the project!
Another
view... even the roof system is completely log
construction. The window splines and bucks are
installed at this point.
Now complete with stain and
chinking, the Lewis Lodge is ready to
deliver! The ceiling is tongue-and-grooved
and insulated, and the electrical is
conpleted.

highlighted by the recessed lights and a character log
truss.
Note the hand-crafted dutch
door!
Let's go
inside!
Note the
cedar slab window sills. Playhouses are wired
for lights, but no outlets unless requested lest
the curious little ones be tempted! This
model was wired with switch
controlled outlets.
Let's go up and check out the
loft!
The structure is created with as much unique
detail as possible. No two houses are the same and
the result is a little Lodge that pleases all who
appreciate fine craftsmanship.
A loft complete with log
railing and accessed by a log ladder is a child's
dream! Plenty of room for sleep-overs in this
one!

Loaded and ready for
