Have you been following along with our playhouse build? This is a very exciting week because we are finishing the exterior and sealing up the playhouse. Up here in Northern Canada, we only get about three good warm months, but we wanted a playhouse that the kids could use for most of the year, so we decided to seal it up, and today we're gonna show you how to make a watertight playhouse!

We are in the middles of a six week renovation challenge called the Jeffrey Court Renovation Challenge. We have six weeks to makeover a space, and we chose to build this amazing playhouse.

If you think it's amazing that we're building a tiny home in six weeks, then PLEASE vote for us!

We're share below how we sealed up this playhouse, but we shared even more in our video this week! If you want to see the entire update, including how we sealed the windows and doors, the siding colours we chose, AND what we decided to call the playhouse, watch below!

How did you make the door? You guys did and incredible job on the entire thing! My husband and I are currently making a playhouse for our kids. Somewhat same concept and we can’t figure out the door part.

Have tried to vote for you again for several days but the voting system will not allow me to vote again as I have voted once! Do you need to check if there is a problem or change your advice that you can vote multiple times? Sad that I can only get one vote on as I think your project is amazing, much better than my quilting cotton and wood dowel tent for my children!!!!

I think they were having issues with the site yesterday! Maybe clear your browser history and try one more time? Let me know if it still isn’t working! I’ll send this onward either way!

This is nicer than my house!! I can't believe you custom made the windows, you two are really the dream team.

Thank you my friend! Yes, we went crazy with this one, lol. We wanted it to be a mini home and I think it's working so far!
