cut the playhouse panels 1. Mark and cut
Mark and cut all the plywood panels, both wall and roof, to the shape and dimensions as shown in drawing a and drawing b in The Plans section.

Cut the floor frame members as per drawing f in The Plans section.

Cut the floorboards: 16 @ 1590 (63 5/8") out of 100x25 (1x4) stock. Also put aside 20m (65ft) of 100x25 (1x4) stock for the battens that go around the top of the walls, the roof beams, ridge capping and valley boards. The remainder of the 100x25 (1x4) stock can then be cut in half lengthwise, making the 50x25 (1x2) stock that will be used for the vertical battens and also to make the door.
make the playhouse floor frame 2. The floor fame
On even ground, make up the floor frame consisting of four joists and two end members out of 100x50 (2x4) treated stock to the dimensions as shown in drawing f in The Plans section.

When the floor frame has been nailed together, it is then ready to be squared.

NOTE: The frame is square when the distances between the opposing diagonals are equal.
fix the playhouse floor boards 3. The floor
Commence nailing the 100x25 (1x4) floorboards to the floor frame, beginning flush with one end. Continue placing and nailing the rest of the boards tight against one another, until the floor is covered.

The last board will most likely need cutting lengthwise to finish even with the end of the floor frame.
