Play Set Assembly Day 1

Well, I have to say it looks MUCH easier than it actually is. After years of consideration, we finally broke down and bought the kids a real playset. We have had a simple swing set since Thomas was 10 months old and he has simply outgrown it. We decided to buy one from Home Depot that is all pre-cut and "simple" assembly. Ha! It took most of the morning of Day1 to figure out what went where and to gather all the tools that we would need. It was absolutely a beautiful day so the kids had fun watching and playing. They played in the cardboard box and even brought out their sleeping bags. We hope to finish it up tomorrow. Then we'll still need to stain it, put some trim boarding around it and mulch it in. It has turned into quite a project.

It took a fork lift to put the materials in the truck. The boys were so entertained!
