This weekend Sven started out by using a rake and carefully leveling out the area in which the playhouse is to be built.
Next he used a 4x4 to stomp the ground flat.
He then carefully laid out the cement pieces on which the foundation frame would sit.
Using sidewalk chalk, he uses the Pythogrean theorem to figure out the length of the theoretical diagonals in order to figure out whether his frame is square or not. He explains this thouroughly to Josephine as he sketches it out.
Josephine then makes her own sketch of the playhouse and carefully explains it to Sven: "Here is the door . . . and here are the windows . . . and here is me!"
She then attempts her own Pythogorean theorem.
Then Sven saws out the pieces of lumber which will ultimately become the foundational frame.
He then nails them together.
