This was an 8x8x12 playhouse that had been lovingly build over the years by family & friends. We wanted to take it with us to our new farm 150 miles away, but no one really was willing to step forward, as this wasn't your 'ordinary' easy on/off move.

David showed up willing & concerned about doing as little damage as possible to our playhouse, and he did a good job. It was JUST within the limits of Missouri's oversized items to haul without a permit, and it was a formidable sight moving down I-70 on a blustery afternoon.

Our daughter uses this playhouse for sleepovers (it has a third level with a pop-up camper mattress pad). There's a middle level where she had a little TV/VCR with cable, and the main floor, which was furnished with an ice-cream table. It was decorated with all manner of odds & ends gathered from flea markets & thrift stores, and with a coat of red paint, looked great.

It was also a great place to enjoy our coffee in the mornings. Thanks David (and his trusty helper Amy) for bringing our playhouse "Home".
