At about 10 a.m. Friday morning, the entire staff of Curtis Homes LLC and volunteers with Columbia Gorge Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) began building a farm-style playhouse, which will be raffled off as part of a CASA fundraiser in early spring.

Around 1:30 p.m., workers were securing the roof to a mostly complete structure and getting ready to paint — white with black accents, and a red Dutch door.
