We were very happy with these plans! This is a great playhouse if you want a smaller, fairly easy-to-build playhouse, and want something much nicer than the plastic playhouses on the market. Took a little over $800 in materials and maybe 60-80 hours of my time to build it. Complete with dragonfly door knocker, cedar bird house, and inside chalk board. Only additional accessories yet will be a couple window boxes, a mail box, and stone walkway. I cheaped out a little on the siding and used exterior plywood instead of red wood boards, and we painted the plywood using exterior paint. But we're really happy with the end result and the kids love it! I would definitely recommend this construction plan to anyone interesting in building a similar-sized playhouse.
