WDC & S #110 from November 1949-Gladstone doesn't want Donald (disguised as a pest control officer) to snoop around his bookshelves, as he thinks he might find the Gander's old mushy love letters to Daisy.

Correct. But the issue number is WDC & S #111.
This is a Barks story in which the nephews have a playhouse. The CBL mentions on page 8A-186 that the "Pirates Den" of panel 3.5 is nearly identical to the nephews' "Pirates Den" in the 1941 cartoon 'Truant Officer Donald', showing a (non-Barks) storyboard sketch of that cartoon.

Another example of a playhouse is the earlier mentioned Old Quackly Hall story (WDC 154). There the nephews have stored ice in a hut last winter. (5.2)
Or is that not really a playhouse?

Egg thinks there must at least be one more story with a playhouse.

"Flowers! Flowers! Nice fresh flowers!"

No. Though the bothering insect could be a resemblance.

hint #2: "Half of the people in town are mad at me! It's best that I don't let 'em know who I am!"

The story where the nephews put a beehive in the backyard (as part of a Junior Woodchuck project).

That's from the "Last Train to Pumpkinburg" story, where the Nephews decide to play hooky and "ride the rails" as hobos.

Egg presents... an old Barks Christmas quote quiz.
Twelve quotes in total. (bling bling!)

1. "SELL him? For the love of jingle bells! Who would want a REINDEER?"

2. "It's a shame to spend our Christmas savings, but what else can we
do in a case like this?"
(Picture shows a piggy bank.)

3. "It's going to be EASY to buy that turkey, it won't even be fun!"

4. "Yimminy Christmas! Heavens to betsy!"
(Barks character reading a message, received from a bearded sonny.)

5. "Man! For that kind of surfin' I'll double my donation to the
Christmas fund!"

6. "Here is the deed - all filled out! Sign it on the dotted line!"

7. "If I can keep anything BAD from happening to it, I may get a
four-dollar bonus for Christmas!"
(Page shows a Disney character with a shovel and a wheelbarrow.)

8. "I'd be satisfied with something SIMPLE for a Christmas present -
say a new GOLD MINE, for instance!

9. "I'll drive this pernicious pellet clear to Christmas!"
(Picture shows a Barks character on a chimney.)

10. "By jingo! I'll lock up shop and go to Grandma Duck's for a
Christmas vacation!"

11. "Well, I'm on my way to Christmas dinner! Who says that CRIME
doesn't pay?"

12. "Here goes, men! Merry Christmas, Mexican style!"

1. "The Code of Duckburg."
2. "Big-Top Bedlam."
3. "Gladstone's Usual Very Good Year" (at least that's the title I know it by; it's the one where Donald becomes obsessed with beating Gladstone in a turkey raffle.)
4. "The Terror of the Beagle Boys"--first Beagle Boys story.
5. "Double Masquerade."

7. The story where Donald has Gyro seal Scrooge's money in impenetrable wax.
8. "Christmas Cheers."

10. "Grandma's Present" with Gyro Gearloose.
11. The "Petrolino de Vaselino" ten-pager.
12. "Three Dirty Little Ducks, Round Two."

Number 6 is the only one I can't recall from memory, darn it--I know it'll come to me as soon as I've posted this message.
