Playset

Brady has outgrown his plastic playset so we decided he needed a bigger wooden set.  After some research and looking we had picked a playset.  We had heard horror stories of people trying to put them together themselves so we opted to have someone do the install.  The description of the playset actually said something along the lines of it would take 2 men approximately 24 hours to install.  No thank you.  What frequently happens in this scenario is that I become the 2nd 'man' and then am struggling to carry, lift, etc.  The 24 hour comment though made it a no-brainer.  The 2 men that did the installation were impressive and had it done in 4.5 hours.  I will say that I was a little concerned when I saw the guys roll up with a cigarette in their mouth and then before we discussed the install plans he pulls out $2 and asked if I could go pick him up a Diet Mountain Dew while we were out.  A little rough around the edges, but they had certainly put together many playsets.  When we asked him how many he said it was in the 1,000s.

Brady is very happy with the end product.  He did not want his picture taken so I had to be quick and sneaky.  The playset has also been a hit with the neighborhood kids and has resulted in Brady making some new 'big kid' friends.
