a little diy...

Sometimes good things just happen.  Like when Caleb and I had decided we wanted to try and find a second-hand playset for our yard and then out of the blue a lady in our ward asked us if we might be interested in a playset her neighbor was trying to get rid of.
Yes, please!

Although it was old and dingy-looking, it had good bones.  Besides, you can't beat free.  With a bottle of wood cleaner, two cans of stain, and a new swing, we think it turned out great.  Caleb has plans to expand (he's always trying to make things bigger and better), but for now Jane loves it.

  1. Turned out awesome. That is a lot of tedious work to sand and paint that whole thing. Good job. I'm sure your kids will have years of enjoyment from it.
