A couple of years later, when we sold our house there in three days and moved back to Little Rock, I told some friends that if they'd disassemble and move the playset/swingset, it was theirs. They actually did it! I assembled one of those hummers when my kids were little and we lived in Abilene.

Send me an email if you can with where you got it, cost bubble, etc. And whether you'd buy the same thing again.

I admire the fact that you still even try to do home improvement projects with your somewhat uneven track record. It is nice when occasionally something works the way it is supposed to. <strong>[It is nice when one actually works out the way it's supposed to. Rare, but nice.]</strong> My hats off to you, Bro.

You never cease to impress me with ALL of your skills. Especially when motivated by a little (nearly) three year old grandson who is the apple of your eye and beneficiary of your good work. I figure you were partially driven by the need to properly impress Jackson and also probably had Janice standing over you with a stern look, making sure you didn't "goof" on anything to do with her precious grandchildren. That's a REALLY NEAT swing set/fort, too. WOW! When we were kids, we were happy to just have a rope hanging from a big tree limb and have a tree house that we built ourselves. It wasn't much to look at, but was WAY fun! Thanks for the photos showing your good workmanship!! Dee <strong>[You're right ... we NEVER saw anything this nice in our neighborhoods.
