This is what has been keeping us busy over the last few weeks.
I am painting it this week. Then we can move the older fort across from it as well as a smaller cubby and the swing set. Then the "kids precinct" will be almost complete as well.

Dee - DH has this idea that the more things he builds in the backyard for them, they will never want to go anywhere LOL. Since he deals with the public all week long, weekends he is totally into hibernation in his own yard.

LOL Eiffel we were discussing whether we should have another baby last night but at almost 42 we figure we might be pushing our luck (and sanity).

Bahahaha. Thanks for all the offers of children however our Miss 6, Masters 4 & 2 are more then enough at present!!
Thanks again for the compliments - we love the whole pool house set up. Had a lovely day outside in the pool followed by showers in the pool house then dinner cooked and eaten out there as well.

Yep -at nearly 44 and having the 5, 3 & 1 yr old grandsons here for every Friday & Saturday night for the past few months I am glad we stopped in our 20's! I adore having the boys here ( and can't wait for the next 2 grandchildren to arrive over the next couple of months) but having done our parenting I'm also happy to have time to ourselves
Lucky Kyton!! What a difference the pool room will make to your outside fun ... great planning has gone into it - who wouldn't like your BBQ set up ... and the fridge ... well done!!

Thanks Mclaren for the compliments.
RoseyPaige - it was from somewhere in WA. Hubby ordered it and it was freighted in kit form over to NSW. It has been sitting in our 8 car garage taking up the whole space for close to a year LOL.
Have been hard at work painting it yesterday and today - still not finished ARGH!

Yep thats them. We have been looking at the website for over a year but have been unsure about ordering one as it will probably sit in the garage for a year as well!
Hi Kyton, is it finished yet? Can't wait to see the final result ....
