Default Check out Sandra's new playhouse

This is our first effort - made from the argos 1/2 price sandpit.

She loves it. Just need to get a few more wee bits and peices to keep her interested.

well done, good job! Slight word of caution, Sandra will be able to climb so the upturned saucer at the back of the enclosure could be a means of escape

Obviously not a problem if the mesh lid is kept closed, but just so you're aware

I just tacked the ground sheet around the bottom. I'll use the plastic top if we get bad rain (which is often in NI) xo
