NOW THAT'S A BIG PLAYHOUESE!

YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS INSANE, 450-SQUARE-FOOT PLAYHOUSE:

You know, when I was a kid, my playhouse consisted of a few old smelly mattresses leaning up next to my house! Recently, Marvin Smith of Russellville, in southern California, finished building a 450-square-foot playhouse for his grandkids . . . and you won't believe the amenities this thing has. Check it out . . . The house has two stories . . . and real siding, windows and shingles on the roof. --It has a front porch, a gazebo, a second-story deck . . . and an attached garage.

It has working electricity, heat, air-conditioning and running water.The floors are carpeted, and the kitchen has ceramic tile countertops. The house is fully furnished, and it has a dishwasher, a stove, a refrigerator, and a washer and dryer. There's even an iron and ironing board.--There's a bay window in the kitchen . . . and the cabinets are full of dishes. (California Democrat) (--This is insanity . . . right? I mean, this place sounds better than most of the places I've lived.)
