What fun to have three young kids running around upstairs.
Our house is a very fine house – if I say so myself. The floors are all hardwood, sanded and finished in this past year. The basement is ICF – a nice way of saying it is well insulated and the ceilings are 9’ high.
But most fun?
Under the eaves upstairs we have built a very enjoyable runway that goes from one side of the house to the other. Starts beside the bathroom, runs over the stairs and ends up in a closet in the large upstairs bedroom. The “door” to the closet is a bookshelf that gets moved when you want to get in and out. The whole passageway is drywalled and painted.
For kids, this is a marvel. They go through and back. Then back again. Parents can’t follow – it’s their size and no bigger!
We opened the large bedroom up as a play room. Space to do puzzles, play games and strew toys all over the floor. And then we timed doing a 100 piece puzzle – seven minutes. Not bad!
I’m guessing they will be back again, dragging their parents with them!!!
