    Oh, ya my kids have spent all of about 1 hour in their playhouse. They WILL use it more this Summer if I have to lock them in there.
    hahahahaha....exactly

    btw I used 3/4 osb for mine as it had though take the weight of my fat arse kneeling on it to put the roofing on

          Actually this roof is too steep to sit on (don't want the kids up there) and probably also too steep to collect much snow -- it forms an equilateral triangle -- 60 deg.

          I love the pegboard idea. I want to see what other roof options I have to see if I can avoid the weight and nail issue completely.

          There's a little dormer off to the side, so that's going to make framing the roof kind of tricky because it will intersect one of the rafters.

          In any case I'm sold on NOT using 1/4". Thanks for all the great advice so far!!

          I'll have to post some pictures sometime soon =)
