I just finished building my daughter a lakefront house.

I am tired now.

Actually the lake is a Koi pond.

Good job.

No nails sticking through the roof I trust.

I built something like that when I was 12 or 13 years old, learned a few things.

No nails poking through. I used the shortest nails they had, they were very hard to hold. I actually used one of the handy tips from the thread a couple of months ago, a comb!

It meets the same code as the concrete one going into the house. She will be three on September second. My wife got her a little kitchen for the inside. I will get her the BBQ for her birthday. She loves to play restaurant.

I thought about that. Maybe when I get her a little powerwheels car. The concept of steering is still new to her.

This has got to be the best daddy present ever. Ever. Take lots of pictures of her playing in it. Those will be just as treasured as the house. Great job!

Excellent! I built a similar shack for my kids many years ago. Still stands.
