Building Playhouses and Forts for Kids
The Wall Street Journal's Real Estate section has an article called Luxury Playhouses Are Too Costly to Play In that takes a look at the expenses involved with purchasing playhouses today. For wealthy buyers, $23,000 for a "Well Appointed House... its Summer Cottage, complete with a cedar-shingled roof and bay windows with flower boxes" may not be a big deal, but for those who have time to go the do-it-yourself route, I recommend Kid's Places to Play. The full-color book offers instructions on how to build everything from treehouses, to skateboard ramps, to a frontier-style stockade fort with lookout.
