Our neighbor has had this swing set, which he NEVER uses, sitting in his backyard since he moved in. He is a young, single guy with no kids or nephews/nieces. We asked if he would mind us paying him $20 so Madison could enjoy it. He would not take the money and even helped Ben take it down and put it in our backyard.
Of course we couldn't just put it up like he had it. We (aka Ben) redid it, replacing the main wood frame and reusing the rest. This is about 75% done but we are going to repaint everything, including the slide (we found some plastic paint that has great reviews) and place a fabric tent to the top. I think we only ended up spending about $150 for everything and these swing sets are EXPENSIVE. Like $800 - $3000. I know...Obsurd! Madison has loved using the swings and slide. What a great way not to have to pack up and go to the park everytime!!
Thanks Builder Bob....aka....Daddy!!!
