Poppa and The Shwing Set – Take Two

Our granddaughter’s birthday is in August and last year we got her a swing set. In case you don’t remember the shwing set (her pronunciation) saga you can read about it here. https://nanahood.com/poppa-and-the-shwing-set

All last fall and though the winter the swing set looked like this….

My son and I finally came to the conclusion that while Poppa had the best intentions in the world, he simply didn’t have the time for such a massive project and so we hired a family friend to help my son put it together.  For weeks there have been parts strewn throughout my basement.  The instructions said it would take two men 40 hours to put it together. When I mentioned that to my son’s friend he laughed and pointed out that it actually said “two skilled men 40 hours,” and assured me it would take them longer, and it did but it was worth it. Yesterday I had my camera ready when Abby saw the swing set for the first time.

Priceless

I’m not sure my son or his friend will ever want to help put another one of these together, but that’s okay because this one should last awhile.

So, do you want to come over to my house and play?

  1. My son did one from scratch and we heard moans and groans all the way over here. Then my daughter and I found one together for my grandson and we got that home almost together but her husband griped for hours and stormed in the house twice.

  2. What a great swingset! I hope you and Abby have lots of fun in it! My grandson and I read and have picnics in his! The hard part will be climbing that little ladder to get inside. 🙂
