It's about time...
The kids have been sneaking off to the neighbors to play on their playset for the past few summers, this summer I decided I would rather have the neighbor kids sneaking here and spent hours searching for the perfect playset for our yard. I was really drawn to the Rainbow brand playset, they are extrememly well built and durable. When I checked into them though, I realized just how expensive they are. Not in our "summer fun" budget, that was for sure. I looked at the playsets at Sams club and Menards, they were nice, but rather flimys compared to the Rainbow brand playsets. So I set to work scouring Craigslist. After a few weeks of searching, I found the perfect one, in a price that was affordable for us, just in need of a fresh coat of stain. Now all we had to do was borrow Grandpa's red truck and trailer, buy a drill, beg Uncle Nate to help, drive to the sellers house, disassemble the playset, drive it home, reassemble it and return Grandpa's truck. Easy, right? No problem!!
See? Doesn't it look sad in this yard? It wants to come home.... Well, Tadd & Uncle Nate better get to work. Harrison came along for an extra set of hands....
Back in our yard now, disassembled and ready to be put back together.
Parts everywhere!
Tadd, hard at work.
Ta Da!! Home at last. Wasn't that easy? It only took one day, the kids are thrilled, they were up at 6am today playing on it.
Have I ever mentioned that Tadd is my hero? I love him more than anything. All I did was mention I wanted a playset for the kids and he was so willing to get it done for me. This was a huge undertaking and I have to thank Tadd for all his hard work.
I love you Tadd! You're the best....

Oh man, what a great addition to the yard!! I bet your kiddos are going to live in that thing this summer!
Your yard looks great by the way...the last time I saw all those trees they were like twigs!
What a great addition to your 'family'. It will be well loved I'm sure.
Thanks Tadd! This was a big project, I'm sorry Greg wasn't there to help.
I love the new swing set. Man, I wish we would have had one of those when I was a kid. Tadd did a great job putting it back together.
