Feel the Burn

As you can tell from Pilots post, we spent the weekend assembling the kids playhouse. It was a pretty interesting weekend. Last Sunday, Pilot and I spent 3 hours getting the frame started. We spent as much time looking and sorting boards as we did building. Here is where we were last Sunday.




Yesterday, we spent about 9 hours on the playset. We got alot done because we had alot of help. Our neighbors jumped in and really helped a bunch as well as Pilot. We all got all sorts of fresh air and sun. My arms and neck are neon. We got alot of the main structure done but still needed to get the roof on. It really started to get together. Here is where we were after 9 hours on day two.




Today we completed the playset with the help of the neighbors. We spent about 6 hours on the Playset from Hell. Pilot set this one out and I dont blame him. I was burnt starting out and got worse today. I guess I am a glutton for punishment, but I wanted to get it done before the rain tomorrow. After we got it together we went to Lowes to get some extras for the playset. Yin and Yuri picked up a steering wheel and a telescope. I am going to work on a bucket a pulley to haul stuff up to the upper deck and in a year or two will work on a zip line to get off the back deck toward the field. Here is the playset completely done. All we have to do is seal it with water sealer but we need a good dry couple of days to get that done. I hope everyone everyone had a relaxing weekend outside.







Last but not least, I wanted to thank everyone for there help in the Playset From Hell. With out the help of friends and family this project would still be on step 10. All in all we spent about 18 hours getting this thing together.

THANKS!!!

Looks like your hard work paid off. It's incredible and HUGE. Can we live in it?

The rent is $400 a month and there is no water, heat or electricity. But it has a dandy slide, tunnel and look out tower. The steering wheel and telescope is a nice feature also. We do ask for a $300 security deposit for incidentals. He he
