My Auntie Pat has the best play house this side of the Rockies. It's chalk full of childhood exhilaration and is the type of thing memories will be made of. Ya'll, this is the ticket; the ticket to being numero uno Grammy, Auntie, whatever title you are seeking after.
Now, be prepared because this fine prairie dwelling will make your heart a tad envious if you have the run of the mill, Canadian Tire version of a kid's fortress. If you think you can handle it, feel free to carry on.
Uncle Merle, being the man with a vision, saw this hundred year old bunkhouse, complete with the fact the pigeon's made this their home, and knew that the setup would make a fine place for imaginations to soar. With the original steel wheels still being able to turn, he hauled this bad boy back to their home place from the neighbours. Can you imagine transporting it from field to field with horses for harvest? Being the hired man who bunked in this beneath a starry sky?

After a thorough cleaning, new flooring laid down, a couple of windows and the inside being painted a cheerful yellow...the babes were allowed in! Auntie Pat has the sweetest little red play kitchen, table & chairs, and a fancy pants sock monkey tea set. It's settled the fact my girls don't want to go to Disneyland; they want to go to the end of the gravel road, to Uncle Merle's house.

Oh my, this is too sweet! I love it!
A little imagination and a heaping of elbow grease, and viola- playhouse! When we were kids, we would love to find abandoned buildings, and make forts in them, boys against the girls!
Wonderful ! We had a playhouse my dad built , not on wheels but and imagination station all the same.Loved it , seeing at home at mom and dads still makes me smile
I think I could live in there! Might miss the indoor plumbing just a bit! ;)
Awesome. Lucky the kids and grandkids who get to play in that! :)
WOW!.. how cool is that??!!...
We built a tree house for our kids, and they never used it because of the frequent spiders... I mean, this is the country! They grew up with barns in the backyard, are ya kidding?...
It's wonderful! Do show us the inside.
So awesome! We want to build one for our girls... someday. At my in-laws farm, my nieces cleaned out an old chicken building and made their own "fort" - so many memories there!!!
