D.I.Y. cubby houses
I just decided on a whim to build my boys a cubby house on the weekend and I just wanted see what other people have done.
If you have built a cubby I'd love to see it.
My cubby is still a work in progress but I will post some progress pictures below.
I am building this completely from scratch and off the top of my head without any plans.

Re: Cubby house
Hey York When i built Our Cubby in the Summer i left it an 'Open' project.
Finished, but still with room to expand and and always be changed as Hugh my eldest was always changing and reaching different demands. Our most recent additions have been a steering wheel and binoculars. I have still left room for more swings and rope ladders as he gets bigger. The shop kitchen and mud kitchen downstairs are forever changing (he does that)

Re: Cubby house
@woodalwaysworks That looks awesome mate. Yeah I have full intentions to make it so it's completely adaptable and able to grow and expand it as my boys grow up. I really like what you have done though looks very cool.

Re: Cubby house
No plans! Wow, awesome work @Yorky88.
What advice can you give to us mere mortals for working with pallets? I'm thinking of getting started with some planter boxes.

Re: Cubby house
Hey @Kermit thanks for the comments hey. Haha I'm just a mere mortal also I just love the challenge that comes with not having any plans to work off and I guess I like to be able to create my own plans too. I like being able to do something original rather than straight out of the mold if you know what I mean.
My my advice would be to just give it a crack hey. Planter boxes are are fairly simple build and a great place to start. It's exactly how I started. If you need any plans or further advice either leave me another comment or send me a private message. I'd be happy to chat with you a bit more.
Look forward to seeing your planter boxes in the gallery.

Re: Cubby house
Now it's been a couple of weeks since you finished @Yorky88, how are the boys enjoying the cubby house?
Anything you learned or would have done differently that you can share?

Re: Cubby house
This was a really fun build and I'm sure I'll continue to add things to it as I go.
