A New Project

We are the new owners of this gigantic swingset! Found it through a friend of a friend. The people spent $6,600 (!!!) on it 8 years ago and their four children used and abused it, and have now outgrown it. They are excited to see it go to a good home - especially, another home with four kids! It's got another baby swing behind the slide, a rock wall on the backside and a tire swing underneath. The best part? It's free!


We're not giving them money for it, anyway. I'm sure there will be expenses in terms of replacing bolts, rusty parts, a warped board or two. Not to mention all the sanding and staining it needs. Some leveling of the backyard might be necessary. So, it's really not free, but we're suckers for a sweet DIY project!


Here it is after the first afternoon of deconstruction. It may be awhile before we see an "after" picture with it standing in our yard!
