Swing set construction day 3 - final












Adriane and Mackenzie

Sunday night when we wrapped up we had the swings, slide, and rock wall finished. Monday night was an off night for the team but I couldn't resist the urge to put on the vinyl canopy as kind of a topping out ceremony.

Tuesday night Russ came over (Todd had baseball with his son Caleb) and we built the second A-frame for the monkey rings and got them installed. Mackenzie really wanted the monkey rings and it is good for strength building! We got everything installed and level and KK attached the rings to the beam. That was cool!

Then, we went to work building a ladder for the rings. Adriane Galle (Russ's daughter) came over and helped out drilling pilot holes in the ladder. Thanks A! (see pic above)

Next, we had to complete the walls on the tower. That went pretty quick and at 10:08pm we were finished!!! YEAH! I'll sleep good tonight!
