Priceless

Build it yourself playground set - $1500
27 total man hours to build @ 10$/hr - $270
Crummy lunch for 2 at the new "Dooner's" restraunt - $15
Having Kaya say "Thanks for building the best playground ever!"
*****Priceless*****
Aaron, Heather, & Aaron's sister Wendy teamed up on Saturday to put together the playground we purchased for the backyard. The sales people told us it should take 2 people about 2 hours to build. The guy who delivered the set said that would probably take us about 4 hours. Um...yeah. It only took 3 of us approximately 9 hours to put the blasted thing up. The directions were about as clear as mud and we braved some cold and windy weather to get it done on our alotted day before the landscapers come back to work on the yard. The kids were absolutely thrilled with the end result and after all the cuss words and everything was said and done, we had the self satisfaction of doing it ourselves.
Here are some pictures:

That is the SAME swingset Rod won last year! Hilarious!

I don't know about your slide, but ours is posessed or something. Hardly anyone can go down it without almost falling on their face.

That was a funny post. Sometimes directions are pointless. You just have to look at something and say to yourself, "Can I build this without instructions?" Cause that's what it's like with directions. Anywho, do you know what you're having yet or did I miss that post? I'm excited for you guys!
