Dad works so the kids can play

This is what Josh did for 2 weeks (or more) every day after work and whenever he could.

Step 1: mark off the area

Step 2: get rid of grass in area

Step 3: Prep ground with landscaping fabric to prevent weeds.

Step 4: Build the swing set

Repeat step 4 for several days

Step 5: Build box around swingset


Step 6: Fill box with rubber mulch

and Ta Da!!

Thanks to everyone that helped put this togther: Jacob, the Elders, Tony, the kids & of course Dad who spent SO much time putting this together so that the kids have something fun to play on... and to get them out of the house to give me some peace too! Thank You!

Is there a weight limit on the swings? I want to come and play. What a fantastic job you did on the prep and the finished product is amazing.

It looks great. As if a professional put it together. That's Josh, the perfectionist. Just another reason he needs to get into dental school.

I'll be right over so we can chat while the kids play on that awesome thing! Wouldn't that be so fun? Maybe someday!!

Looks great guys--lucky! Was it hard to figure out?
