Building our backyard playset

It took us a while to decide which playset to buy. Eventually we found this one on sale and with free shipping from BJ's wholesale, which is apparently like Costco on the East Coast.All the reviews were great but there were some comments about it being hard to put together. Obviously, it is not because here is a picture of 3 year old Sam doing just that!

Here we are holding up the posts so that Jon can make sure they are the appropriate distance apart(he didn't have a square and had to use a level) and then screw another crossboard on the top.

Of course, I do have a husband who has more than his fair share of cleverness. He made it look easy and even let patiently let the kids help. As a side note. I had to stand on a ladder and hold part of the 2nd story up while Jon drilled it in place. Most people probably know that just isn't my thing(heights, ladders) but it's all for the kids.

One last picture after Jon snuck out on Sunday and installed the swingset portion. You know, ox in the mire type stuff! We now have more of the playhouse on the 2nd floor part done. I'll post one last picture when we have a finished product!
