Cardboard Clubhouse

My husband is an engineering genius, at least I think so. He's so great at taking simple things & making them into something useful. For months we have had big cardboard boxes in our basement (taking up a ton of room btw). Well, our neighbors put out a big weber grill box & Brent snatched it up. One weekend he & the boys created one of his "leftover" masterpieces. The kids have been having a blast in the cardboard clubhouse. Now, this is no ordinary cardboard creation. It has wooden supports, ladders, doors, windows & is actually very sturdy.






This was phase #2. We were out biking in a nearby neighborhood & this nice green slide was on the curb. Of course, Brent had to go back & get it. I thought "what in the world are we going to do with that thing?" Well, he added it to the clubhouse & now it has a super fast slide!
Save up your boxes & maybe you can persuade him to build one for your basement :)
