Playhouse Deck Beginnings

Yesterday and today, Colin has been hard at work on the playhouse deck.  We've always planned on having a path or small stone patio on the side of the playhouse, maybe with some steps going up through the garden to the patio, but the deck idea is somewhat new.  Colin decided to build the deck before finishing the playhouse, so he will have a level surface on which to put the ladder when doing the remainder of the siding and roof.

Another benefit of the deck is that we can easily attach the slide. The kids are looking forward to that part.  The decking material doesn't arrive until Wednesday, so, we'll have to wait until the kids can enjoy a popsicle on their new deck.
