Once the new swing set was bumped, I decided to simply add a second used one so we can have additional swings. I found a Rainbow set on Craigslist for $275 - it would have been over $3,000 new. Since JD is on week four of a demanding five week class, we paid our son's friend to head up the dismantling, moving and "re mantling". I sent James and Ben along to help.
It was a beautiful day and once the movers made it back,.we took a break for sandwiches.
Of course, the little guys were excited and played on the pieces before they were even installed.
So now the old swing set is staying right next the the new one.
Although Elijah had a tree house and swinging bridge on his wish-list, he was pretty thrilled with the spinning tire swing.
My next decision is if I am going to paint both of them brown, so just paint the "new" one the reddish color of the "old" one.
I'm glad you were able to find such a deal on the swingset---and get it set up so quickly!
ReplyDeleteOur 1st section was a freebie, and we spent over 2 years adding on and getting it completed. We have the tire too, but with long chains, we love it. Have fun!
