It looks like it’d be sturdy enough. I don’t know enough about home construction to point out any drawbacks or flaws to this notion. Anyone else got anything?
For what it’s worth, that’s someone’s idea of a pretty playhouse with very expensive, pre-cut lumber.
It won’t be so cute after:
– the grass and weeds grow-up between the deck boards with no ground cover.
– the walls rot because the water came through the ends of those cute wall blocks.
– it sweats (rains) in the interior with no moisture barrier.
– it swells during the rainy season, and shrinks and opens up during the dry season.
– the window frames turn to mush with no flashing.
– the particle board flooring and roof sheathing sag and absorb water.
– the water doesn’t quite run off that shallow roof covered with tree needles.
– you realize you wasted your money after all of this (and more) happens.
I could go on, but I sound like a curmudgeon. Seeing that beautiful lumber combined with cheap particle board flooring and sheathing was the biggest red flag. When sheathing a roof, one should always use the finest, exterior grade, structural plywood one can afford because 30-40 years from now, it’ll still be there in good shape. Ditto for subflooring.
Plumbing? Electrical? Heating/cooling? Doesn’t seem practical.
