The playhouse was given to us by a lady that stopped me walking around in Costco. She was very insistent that I should take her playhouse. The price was right; free. It was sitting on a concrete slab, so we had to jack it up and roll a floor under the house complete with floor joists and skids. This was a whole day operation. We rented a 16000 lb forklift and a flat bed full size truck (the ones hauling machinery around). This was all 3-4 years ago.

Today we are using our trailer and tractor along with a rented crane for the move here on the property.

I will just post the movie of loading the playhouse onto the trailer and some pictures. I ran out of memory at the end, but i will post pictures later of the final placing of the house.

If it goes too slow, just grab the round button on the bottom of the picture and pull it across to speed things up. (It is rather lengthy)

This is the playhouse; 10’ by 10’. It needs to be moved to the back of the new house. This is the heaviest of the two buildings.

This is the other building. It is our library barn. I build this about 7-8 years ago on skids on wood foundation. This building is 12’ x 16’. This one will go to the front of the new house.

This is a copy of googlemap.com; it shows our property and the route the barns need to take to get to their new spot.

We will hire a crane to lift the houses on our trailer and pull it up the hill to the new house and use the same crane to lift it off the trailer and put it on the new foundations.

On this cabinet I did not make the doors my self, I bought them from http://decore.com/. The hinges I bought at http://www.kennedyhardware.com/lift-off-hinge-with-finial.html

The pictures are not the best, I took them with my PDA, sorry.

The jig rides against the edge of the table.

Now here the jig in action:

I used an old caulking gun to keep the rail in place.

Next was the sticking of the styles and rails.

I was afraid that 1.5” styles and rails would not stay together, so I reinforced by using the Kregg to put some screws in each corner.

After the doors were put together, I had to remove the back lip to make these doors “glass doors”.

I changed the router bit and moved the barrings all to the top.

I took several passes to remove all the wood.

Next was the fillers.

Planing them down.

And squaring up the corners.

I will keep you posted when they are installed and finished.

The pictures are taken with my PDA, so they are not the best quality. This first picture is me still finishing some cabinet doors going into the laundry room.

These are step stools, bought at IKEA for the short people in our household to reach the upper cabinets going all the way up to the 9’ ceiling.

Working on the closets and pantry. We are using laminated solid pine for shelving. I finished these with a lacquer. I bought an HFLP for this.

Now here I could use some advice. Around the fireplace I made some build-ins. The face is solid Poplar bead board. I ran this in my shop and even made the doors out of the same stock to match the face. BUT i used 1/2” birch ply as cleats on the back and glued them on. This made the doors warp very bad. I want to try this again. So I will get some more poplar and match the bead detail of the doors to the face of the cabinet, but how do I attach cleat to the back of the doors and paint them and keep the flat????
