A month or so ago we were given an old wooden playground set that the previous owner's kids had outgrown. It was about 6-7 years old, so it was really weathered and needed some TLC. So my dad (Grandpa Rich) and Mike decided that they would start the project to rebuild it. Grandpa Rich took the base of the fort portion back to his house to start. He has been working really hard on it, and actually had to end up replacing and rebuilding most of the entire base of the fort. He wanted to make sure that it was nice and steady for the grandkids!! Mike is working on sanding and staining the other pieces that didn't need replaced. Today Grandpa Rich and Grandma Penny came over to deliver the base or "fort" part of the playset. They brought it over in pieces so that it would fit through our gate.
Here is a picture of them putting it together:
And here is the final product, well not really final, but the base at least. Once Mike gets the other parts sanded and stained we'll put the rest of it together.
Here are all the pieces that Mike is working on. It will have a slide, rock wall and 3 swings.
It looks great and makes me eager to get the rest of it put together. I know that the boys will have endless hours of playtime on it!
What were the boys doing while everyone else was busy? Swimming of course!
Dad & Mom (Grandpa Rich & Grandma Penny) - thanks again for all of your hard work rebuilding this playset!!! We really appreciate it and can't wait to use it!
