Renovating the cubby stage 1



 A long weekend was approaching   and  our next door neighbors  had pulled a side fence down  so  we decided ( much to my husbands distress) to renovated the cubby house.


This is what the cubby was like , very open  with no protection from the weather  or privacy for the girls .
 It also is in  need of a stain as the original  was very poorly done.

I also decided to remove the yellow, green shelf as it never gets used.
 A  flower box  in place would look far better so  the girls can fill with their own flowers to cut  so maybe leaving  mine alone





We pulled pieces from the back of the top section ,next we started filling in the walls  with the  recycled wood .
We left an area at the top like a window  to give a flow of air across
It took time measuring each piece of wood  , cutting and screwing in place but we had enough to complete  the sides.

 As you can see in the pictures it not quite the same wood but after a coat of stain  I think it will be fine

My husband is of to bunnings to buy some bits and  pieces to finish
Hopefully a timber  window box as well

I am thinking of some sort of curtains or blind to close the bottom in

and so are the  dogs happy
