Dad & the boys build an Epic Playhouse (Part 1 of 2)

[@JesseDotExpert]

Love what you said about teaching children to learn to build with their hands.

[@hbhb7900]

I love seeing on this video, that real men/fathers still exist. Way to many parents (mothers and fathers), concentrate on themselves and have no time for their children. Good job! Your kids will remember their playhouse, and how their father built it for them.

[@dietrichnsons]

Thank you! I’m by far not the perfect parent, but I try. I give them my time.

[@semsettinulusal7991]

I have four grandsons. I am building a playhouse for them. Your work is very useful and inspiring for me. It's a really great job. Congratulations and thank you.

[@nathanaycock8739]

26 seconds into the video you was the most valuable part of your video. Thanks for saying what more people need to take to heart!

[@dietrichnsons]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@PastorBillwillard2147]

Great Job brother the boys are fortunate to have a great dad.

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

Well done sir! Involving the boys so much will be some cool memories for them as well as their appreciation for the treehouse itself!

[@FigmentsMade]

"Up in the air??" I love the look of amazement as they realize how big its going to be and how high up. It's so great they're getting to be involved so much with making things. Fantastic!

[@dietrichnsons]

Figments Made I know, that’s our little Bear man, he’s so funny.

Amazing build A+ Dad. I built my kids loft Beds because of our small home and things here and there to make a small space useful. But this is amazing and inspiring! I’m drafting up my build today for my kids backyard fort.

[@dietrichnsons]

Awesome! And good luck!

[@gasmasl14]

Thank you sharing. I’ve been looking for this type of design clubhouse. Inspirational

[@jjford]

Projects for your kids are always fun, I built my boy a swing set last summer, One of the most rewarding builds ever.

[@dietrichnsons]

JJ Ford right on👊

[@jonwills4670]

Awesome job! The boys’ reactions say it all! 👊🏻

[@dietrichnsons]

Jon Wills thank you Jon!

[@aandmservices2518]

Mom & Dad, YOU LIVING THE DREAM!! Awesome video!! Bet you you're counting the days until you can do even more projects with the kids.

[@merlinhorness1700]

This is an amazing tree house! This is exactly what I want to build for my granddaughter! I love how you got the kids involved! Keep posting your videos! Great job!

[@semsettinulusal7991]

Congratulations. I have four grandsons. I am building a playhouse for them. Your work is very useful and inspiring for me. Thanks.

[@dietrichnsons]

Thank you for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the video!

[@tidyboy72]

I have no idea why this doesn't have more likes! Amazing build fella. Your kids are very lucky. Here in the UK we would need planning permission for something that tell but lots of good practice tips we can take from your build. Thanks!!

[@dietrichnsons]

Tidyboy72 thank you! Reach out anytime! Easier to reach me on IG! @jdietrich76

[@heathermclaren2300]

I can't wait to build a playhouse for our little ones! This one rocks!! And funny thing he says 'roof' the way I do. Lol

[@andylong6589]

man, this is the coolest. and that had to be the reaction you were looking for.

[@dietrichnsons]

Thank you Andy! You will have to bring your kids over next summer!

[@andylong6589]

@@dietrichnsons for sure. I want to sign up for a wood working class too.

[@meme-yc4ks]

Good on u bud for being a good dad.

[@dietrichnsons]

I just give them as much of my time as I can🙏🏻

[@mikemiller7231]

Absolutely awesome! I think you’re being a good man! What town are you all in?

[@bowx]

great job man, I'm actually working on one right now in my backyard. You're absolutely right, I got the boys involved and they love working on it with me.

[@dietrichnsons]

Awesome stuff!!! Enjoy getting them involved!!!

[@sumosprojects]

The whole video was enjoyable, great work 🔨👍👍👍

[@dietrichnsons]

Sumo's Projects thank you for the awesome compliment! I’m glad you enjoyed it🤠

[@ShirsRuby]

This is great! You look like you have construction experience, I'm a newbie, but hoping to build and learn from my mistakes along the way!

[@alkadere2923]

Great job mate.

[@jpwoodwork]

dude thats looking awesome! cant wait for part 2

[@dietrichnsons]

Thank you good sir!

[@vargas333]

Very very cool man I’m encouraged to do my own for my boy but I want to attach it to the patio of our house

[@dietrichnsons]

vargas333 go for it!!!

[@dietrichnsons]

Also, look me up on IG and send me a message if you have any questions @jdietrich76

[@techedfireman4981]

Right on man, awesome job!

[@dietrichnsons]

Thank you man!

[@pixelrangerstudio86]

i really like how you do ALL THIS by yourself. I want to build something similar to this to my girls and i will be alone, so great tips here. thanks!

[@dietrichnsons]

Thank you! I'm on IG as well! Look me up @jdietrich76 and send me any questions you have while you're building there!

[@PaddingtonBearJnr]

Great job and really inspiring. Thank you. I'm about to start a similar project for my daughter in 4 weeks time during the Summer holidays over here. Can you please provide some details on size of lumber for the supporting posts, distances apart, lumber for the joist etc. Sorry for these silly questions but I want to make it safe for her - and she'll (11 years old) be checking me at every step in any case. One final question (and thanks in advance) I'm reasonably fit but had unexpected heart by pass surgery last year - this is why I want to do this now - so my question is can this project be undertaken provided you take it easy ? What I mean that there is nothing really heavy involved (more than say 30kg bags of sand to shift).

[@johnfrederickofficial]

Any update on the plans for this build? I'd like to build this for my granddaughters.

[@beabossc]

What are the dimensions of the deck and about how much u have put into it

[@maddoctor99]

Wow - after seeing all his tools, equipment, powered vehicles, etc, I feel that building the 6x8 playhouse with covered porch and deck for my kids with a handsaw, drill/driver and hammer was a little bit ambitious…

[@Luna_Boy]

It never occurred to me to use nails just as a second set of hands. Nice!

[@dietrichnsons]

Glad it helped🤠

[@gabrielvargas6724]

Do you have a list of materials or a set of plans?

[@dietrichnsons]

Sorry, I don’t

[@sgsowork]

Can you put the measurements in inches of the wooden boards you use for the base of the house (posts and braces) as well as the structure of the walls? Thanks

[@dietrichnsons]

I’m going to try and make some plans. When I do I’ll put up a post

[@wolfteam5219]

Top man respect to you

[@jonathanmiller5773]

Great playhouse, Justin. Looks pretty sturdy. Are your beams and joists all 2"X6"? Just working out a plan for an 8' X 12' playhouse here.

[@dietrichnsons]

Jonathan Miller yes I did all 2x6, ledgers and joists. Kept the spans short and should last longer than me🤠

[@jonathanmiller5773]

@@dietrichnsons cool, that's my plan too. Just bury me under the playhouse, kids 😆

[@dietrichnsons]

Jonathan Miller this is a great idea! But that seems as good as place as any🤠

[@Bward216]

do you think water will go under the walls when it rains?

[@dietrichnsons]

No, but it’s open decking and all treated lumber

[@bastionheadwoodworks]

Do we get to stay in there when we come visit? It has wifi, right? Seriously though, very cool!

[@dietrichnsons]

Bastionhead Woodworks oh definitely! Might even have its own full on kitchen by then!

[@tannerknight6776]

Very nice! Do you have dimensions handy? I’d like to replicate this

[@dietrichnsons]

I’m going to try and put up some plans. I’ll post here when I do, thank you!

[@jacobolmeda6237]

amazing job Justin... What are the dimensions? It looks enormous.

[@dietrichnsons]

The house is 8’x8’, and I think the deck is 14’x10’. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

[@jacobolmeda6237]

Your boys reaction--priceless... You are blessed Justin... Keep up the amazing job you are doing as a father...

[@dietrichnsons]

Jacob Olmeda thank you for the kind words! We are blessed and just trying to take advantage of every day we get😎

Awwww💜💓❣️💘

Where's part 2?

[@keepitfixit2736]

Haha he’s excited about the American flag latter kids are awesome man that’s something my son would have said too.he’s closer to ten now so I feel like this would be a great project for me n him to do thanks for posting i showed my son and he said he’s willing to help.

[@dietrichnsons]

That’s awesome to hear! Hope you do this with your son!

[@jamesvantage]

How much was this build ?

[@dietrichnsons]

About $1500 in material. Which if you go and buy the big playhouses at a box store, that’s what they cost, plus you have to assemble them. Definitely more work involved for me here, but I feel like it was worth it🤠

[@mikemiller7231]

Id say maybe tell how you’re doing it to help other dads.
