Here in Minnesota the long COLD winter left me with a surplus of scrap lumber in my garage left over from the many crates and boxes I build to safely ship signs all over the country. Today we finally had a nice 50+ degree day and I took advantage by cleaning out my garage (or so was the original plan). Instead I found myself stacking up so much spare lumber that I was about to start burning it in the always useful portable driveway fire pit. Wait - the wheels start turning as my boys are wondering what to play with next. 6 hrs later and one trip to Menards for the roof sheets / door hardware and this is what we end up with. A Sinclair filling station playhouse - hmmm now we just need some 1/4 scale pumps...

Now that's what it's all about!,,,beauty
