MY LITTLE CLIENT
One day, Jason called.
Jason: Go-e... di ba you're an architect?
Me: Yes, why?
Jason: Can you build me a house in our garden?
Great. He wants a play house. Is that feasible? What materials can I use? Wood easily rots. High impact plastic is too flimsy. It cannot stand any typhoon or rain. Stainless steel is expensive. Plastic... duh, why not buy a ready made playhouse? Bamboo... There's also a ready made native house. Concrete is too massive. And so I cannot think of a feasible building material that would stand the weather if I would really build that house. The best thing is to buy ready made.
Me: Jason, the house will get wet.
Jason: Then put a roof!
Gee... the little kid thinks I'm dumb.

forget it. i'm going camping tomorrow at lake katsuma at santa barbara. got an 8x7ft tent by coleman and sleeping bags. so if i were you, i'd just get a playhouse/tent and set it up in the backyard when weather permits. or if you want a more permanent one, try one of those bamboo cabanas you see in pansol pool houses. cool... and set up a plastic inflatable coconut trees on the side for that tropical look... or get him a hammock. watch "lost" for other ideas... hehe
