The log 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.   First log courses
 Full log construction, including roof system. This true full log playhouse is built using the same techniques and skill involved in the full size log homes we build.
 Even the roof system is completely log construction.  The ceiling consists of tongue-and-groove pine paneling, and is insulated with 2" rigid foam before sheathing.   Full Eastern White Cedar log structure
 A little Big Helper!  A little Big Helper loves to help with the cleaning up at the site!  The roof is tongue-and-grooved, insulated and sheathed.  The soffit and drip-edge are complete also at this stage.
 Another proud little Big Helper in front of a finished exterior.  Again, the products and processes are the same as in a full-sized log house.  Children exited about their playhouse
 Tight notches in Swedish cope corners  Details and craftsmanship are number one.
 A view here of a finished exterior wall, chinking and staining complete.  Chinking makes an air-tight, weather-proof seal.
 Inside before log slab door and window trim

 Playhouses are wired for lights, but no outlets unless requested lest the curious little ones be tempted!

 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.  Unique detailing makes for one-of-a-kind buildings
 Window, Door, and Switch Trim  View of finished interior.  Note cedar slab window and door trim and light switch box detail.
 A loft complete with log railing and accessed by a log ladder is a child's dream!  Loft Ladder and Railing
 Loft View  The view from the loft.
 Hand made Dutch door - top opens separately from bottom.  Handcrafted, fully operational Dutch door.
 Little Lodges accent your property and bring quality times together For the individual who appreciates detail and craftsmanship, this is a useful, distinctive piece of work for your property.
The finished product is special, unique, durable, enjoyable, and as eye-catching as any full-sized lodge.  Little Lodges are beautiful as well as functional
