I'm toying with building my daughter (age 3) a playhouse. The plan I'm working on is a 4x6 playhouse with a 4x2 porch. I'd like to cover the outside of the house with horizontal laped boards.
I want it to look "rustic" like an old cabin made out of rough sawn planks. The problem is cost. I don't mind spending money, but I'd like to keep the cost down. I've looked at pine and cedar, both of wich I like the look of and are light and easy to work, but the cost to cover the outside of the house starts to get out of hand. Especially if you look at lumberyard wood.
Anyone got a source of rough sawn 3/4 or 4/4 pine or cedar? Or, is there something else out there that would work better?
Thanks,
James
