Well, it's finished. But this swing set represents way more than you could possibly imagine. Here's why.
We moved into our new house in Wadsworth Ohio in 2002 when Mackenzie was 4 yrs old and we left our swing set behind and promised her that we would build her a new play gym when we got our yard put in. Then, everything changed at the church I was serving in, so we decided to put the gym on hold. I really didn't like doing it that way, but our future was very uncertain. The good news is that our neighbors put a swing set in so KK could at least use their's - Many thanks to the Rush family!
So, last year we found out that we would be moving to Iowa so we waited again. Then, we moved into a rental house for almost a year. We didn't want to do anything in temporary housing.
Well, 4 weeks ago today we moved into our new house and my first order of business was to get the play set done. And it's finished. yeah!
SPECIAL THANKS:
Todd Stafford - helped modify the original kit and plans to build it bigger so KK would get a few years use out of it. Then, you directed the construction and did a fantastic job as we continued to modify the plans as we went. It was fun! You are the man!
Russ Galle - you showed up at just the right time with all your cool tools and helped finish everything up. Thanks!
Brian Wohlers, Dean Slyter - although you were only able to help for a short period of time, your contribution was huge. Thanks!
