As an early birthday present to the boys and mostly as some easy entertainment for Sara’s kids while they visit, Steve and I went and bought a DIY swingset kit from Home Depot.  It claimed it was an hour long kit but it ended up taking most of the day on Sunday.  The back of the box listed the lumber that was needed but left off two pieces and the kit itself was missing some critical parts.  So most of the time was spent running around the city and between stores to get all the pieces before we could start assembling.  Despite the headaches, the set turned out perfect.  It’s just a simple A-frame set but we can fit three swings.  The boys LOVE it.
