Opening Soon: The 4Ns Playhouse

Hi Sunny friends,

Finally its getting warm in Belgium! The real summer feeling is here!

And with the arrival of these beautiful sunny days the whole Belgium population prepares to live outside! 
Parasols out, beach chairs out to the terrace, picnic tables filled with salads and BBQs, sandboxes occupied, bikes getting 100% used, and of course...the opening of The 4Ns Playhouse!

Yes, we have been preparing for the very-very-soon inauguration of our playhouse.  Interested to see what's happening?  Take a look!

Stage 1: Take the sandbox out

Stage 2: Dig out the needed holes, measure properly and pour 5cm cement over

Stage 3: Let it dry.



















Stage 4: Check if every piece was delivered















Stage 5: Sort out the needed poles and wooden pieces properly



















Stage 6: Put the platform and the poles together and be sure you do this with Opa and Oma's help



















Stage 7: Put the platform up (with the help of Oma, Opa and our neighbor Frank) after placing the sandbox back in place.
WARNING: VERY HEAVY!!!



















Stage 8: Screw properly the loose parts

Stage 9: Check again with the plan on how to put up the rest



















Stage 10: And execute!  Make sure everything is steady and strong!



















Stage 11: Try if its properly made...















Stage 12: Try again...

Stage 13: Mix the cement and fill up the holes with about 30cm cement.  Let dry for about 1 week.

"Mama ik weet het al hoe je dat ding maakt:
Eerst de stof (cementpoeder), en dan witte zand,

"...en dan bruine zand, en dan steentjes, en dan WATER!"

And what did the rest of the crew do? Let's check it out!

Played with Mama-built Lego playhouse inside
(cause it was toooo hot outside for little girls and boys to play)

Eat fries outside when its not too warm anymore

And share with Oma

That's all for now.

We will surely update you with the progress of our Playhouse!


Hugs,

Niels, Nina, Nico and Neri
