How to build your dream house?

Every kid wishes to have a wooden house, where he will be able to escape to fantasy lands

So, if you a kid or a teen or a parent this guide is for you.(something I built as a child with my grandmother in the yard)

**Make sure safety, is a priority for working as a couple**

First,
you will be needed some tools. Grab a hammer, put some gloves and helment, take a ladder, find yourself a large old tree, pick up some timbers, a handful of nails, and hinges.

The next step will be to design our dream house. I recommend to build a house with flat roof, and entrance from the outside, with tow windows.(cut the wooden beams according to sizes.build a ladder according to the required height)

Building the house floor which is the base of house. To build the floor, you need to find a space between two strong branch and measure the gap. Now you need to take timbers in the same size or connect timbers together so they will be in the same size, and Attach them to one another with nails (Make sure that the floor does not exceed a meter on each side that has no branches and that the floor can be supported by connecting beams below it to the tree and the ground).

Building the walls. First, you need to choose the highest of the house. Remember, you have 4 walls. One plain, one/two with a window, and one with entrance.

Lets start with the easy one, the plain door. Follow the instructions above according to changes in measurements.

Now for the wall with the window. For safety reasons, it is recommended to place the window in the middle so that it is not low but at the shoulder height of the average teenager. In addition, you should place the window in the middle of the wall. To do this, you must start with one side of the wall and connect several timbers of the same size. Then connect to them in the part that will connect to the floor a number of timbers at the height of the beginning of the window and the same for timbers of length left up to the ceiling and finally repeat the operation we described at the beginning of the section on the other side of the window.

Build the wall with the entrance, Follow the instructions above according to changes in measurements.

Connect the walls to each other and to the floor using hinges. Start with connecting one wall to the floor and then connect another wall to it. when connecting each wall to another, as much as possible simultaneously to connect the wall to the floor. The result will be contour made be the walls connected to each other and to the floor.

Connecting the roof. Carefully place the roof you built over the contour of the walls. If possible, the roof should be connected from the outside using hinges that will attach to the walls (at least 2 in each wall). In case it is not possible to connect the roof from the outside, it is possible to connect the hinges from the structure of the walls from the inside.

Attach a ladder to a tree, through which it will be possible to climb safely to a wooden house.

Decorations for the house. It is desirable and recommended to decorate the house as much as possible with paintings and paints, add a small rug, some stools and even a small closet with paints and sheets.
