finished building Ander's swing set

Grandma Dawson heard my call for getting something for Ander to climb on in the backyard and went half-sies on a wooden swingset/fort/slide. On a hot summer weekend, dearest friends Julie and Dave and sister Jeanette came over to help me build it. We got about 1/2 way on Saturday working from 9 to 5 or so and then I completed it on Sunday with another 8 hours. Ander began playing on it immediately.

Here's Aunt Jeanette reading the instructions. Julie and Dave after finishing the toughest part of the swingset where the instructions sent us the wrong direction (thanks Millions Dave!) and the rest of the project on Sunday.

Boy am I glad that I did the wallpaper removal (inside an air-conditioned home) rather than try and tackle this project (in 100 degree heat). This truly was a labor of love from all involved. Accolades to everyone for a job well done! I can hardly wait to play on it myself.
