Free is Good

Last weekend, Chris noticed an ad on craigslist. Free playset to whomever was first to come get it. A storm had blown it over. Some parts were damaged.
 
Of course, Chris jumped right on it. He enlisted our neighbor to help him go pick it up. Today, using a few spare pieces of decking and some treated 4x4s we had on hand, Chris put it back together again.  In order to prevent another wind from destroying it a second time, he extended the legs with some 4x4 scraps and sunk them into the ground with the intent to cement them in.
Not pictured are the slide, climbing wall and swings that came with it. All it needs now is a good power-washing and coat of sealant. It's not as sturdy as the mack-daddy playset we built in Nashville, but free is good.

That is awesome! When we lived in Madison we did the same thing. It's handy having a husband (or in your case yourself) that is able to do things like this. :)
