Hi
New here so bear with me!
We [hubby and I] are planning to put a platform in our sons room so he can, hide, play etc. [not for sleeping] It will go above his wardrobe area and up into the vaulted ceiling. Floor space about 4' x 7' - accessed by a rope ladder.
Is this something that we could do as amateur DIYers or not?
Anyone done this already? Any suggestion?
