The playhouse in itself was quite a project. Its basically a full blown mini-house with electrical, insulation, drywall, vent, TV, phone, pergo floor, etc. We then poured a concrete slab for it and then roofed and painted it. My Dad built it in Oregon and then dis-assembled it and drove it down to California where we put it back together. The playhouse is 8x8x8, I got the plans for the playhouse here. Of course, I had to do the full on installation which was a playhouse I built for my two girls. Your installation can be as simple as this plug and play installation where you can be up and running in 10 minutes or a full on installation with in-wall sensors.

Featuring four characters, each character responds to the sensor inputs with its own personality. The Magic Mirror plays pre-recorded animations based on input from various sensors. The Magic Mirror can read the weather, tell you how your stocks did, can be wired to your doorbell with an IP camera video feed, turns lights & appliances on and off using X-10 control, and even has a Breathalyzer that tells you when you've had too much to drink.
