“Mesla” – an electric trike with two seats – Part 1

Date 3 years ago

My son asked if I could build a treehouse for him. I told him that I can as long as we use all leftovers from the garage. I mostly managed to do that but I bought some nicer looking boards for the siding after I realised how visible the treehouse…
