Swing set construction day 2













Mackenzie and Russ attach rocks to the rock wall

Sunday afternoon we started up work again on the play set around 2:30pm. Todd came over and we got right to work. Our next task was to build the A-frame that would hold the 4x6x12' for the swings. At just the right time Dean Slyter showed up to help us hoist the 4x6 into place - thanks Dean!

By the time Mackenzie got home from church at 6:30 we had the slide and the swings in place and she was able to give them a test ride. That was cool!

Russ Galle came over around 5pm and our building program moved into overdrive! Russ is incredible. He went right to work building the rock wall while Todd and I wrapped up the swings and then started working on the tower again.

Russ and Mackenzie then worked together attaching the rocks to the rock wall. We finished up around 10pm and now we only have to build the A-frame for the monkey rings.

Funny thing - Mackenzie says at the end of the evening, "I'm giving everyone the day off tomorrow." It was a welcome break. :) Tuesday we will finish.
