Big Build


Last Sunday we took on the project of assembling the wooden playset we had bought for Lexi. We were up at Monica's Dad's house Friday and Saturday for a wedding, so him and Sylvia came back down to our house Sat. evening to help us with the construction project. Sat. night we layed out and labled the parts, and then Sunday morning we got down to business.

We started around 8:00 AM, and didn't get finished until after 9:00 PM. When I say "finished", I mean we finished the main tower portion of the set, and got the slide attached. We still have a beam with two swings, a tunnel, and a cimbing wall that need to be added.

Here are some pics from the build. Lexi was a big help as you'll see. We did have one incident near the beginning where the whole structure came crashing down, almost on top of me, but there was no major damage by some miracle (only one slightly cracked board) so we were able to continue.

Lexi sure does love using her tools! I can tell she did a lot of the work. She looked really serious about tape measuring.

Wow, she's going to love that thing. She's such a cute little carpenter, oh and you are too!
