Cardboard Clubhouse
I was working on my rainwater setup, when I had to remove the cardboard box that was around the 275 gallon plastic container. Instead of recycling it, why not build a fort for the Little Girl. Of course, it quickly spiraled out of hand. I built a two-story cardboard clubhouse, INCLUDING a cardboard ladder AND a cardboard slide. There is a really simple 2x4 lumber frame under the slide, and the roof is clear plastic, but EVERYTHING else is cardboard. More photos and write-ups at the following links. http://ecoprojecteer.net/2012/07/cardboard-clubhouse/ http://www.instructables.com/id/2-St...ard-Clubhouse/

That is awesome! And with the amount of rain we've been getting you shouldn't have to worry about that. I do know the fun of boxes as a kid. The parent's refrigerator box was such great fun, we had it for years in the basement as a playhouse.

We just ordered a dishwasher. I'll have to keep the box from that.
Wait a minute.... It's German-made - that means Euro-style minimal packaging! A friend of mine just ordered a new clothes washer and dryer. She will probably make an awesome fort from that!

Very cool! Really something to consider the next time I order something that comes in a HUGE box.
