Building Your Dream TreeHouse

Remember when you were a kid and you needed a little space of your own, other than your room, where you could go and hide or just get away from it all?  Whether you were a boy or a girl, a treehouse was like owning your own house or that "delux apartment in the sky".  Well, you can build your child that dream "treehouse".  It is not hard to do and can be built so that it is safe for your child and his/her friends to play in for years. You can have your child help you get the materials and help pick out the tree it could be built in and you can also include them to help you build it by letting them help carry things or hand you things as you explain to them what to do.  It will be a fun learning experience for you both that you will remember forever.  Click on the link below to see what materials you will need and how to build it.

Brick It With Color

There are all types of brick houses and all colors of brick, such as the traditional red brick, a charcoal colored brick, a white brick, and even more. Sometimes though, you want a change, and it would be very costly to change out the bricks just to change the color of your house. One way to change the color of your brick house without replacing the brick is to paint it.  Painting brick has become a trendy new thing and can creat the perfect "curb appeal" that you want.  It only takes a few days and a few materials.  Check out the link below to see how to do it.
