We bought a playset

The kids were so excited. Sydney said, "Can we play on it tomorrow?" Dean and I looked at each other and stiffled a laugh. This thing is going to be an enormous project that may take at least a month to finish. Aside from the fact that it is a monstrous swing set that had 6 boxes and a slide with some of them weighing more than 200 lbs, the prep work for the ground is quite extensive. We have to take up the grass in the dimensions of 17.5 x 16.5. After that we'll have to rework the ground, add a retaining wall, and then we'll be able to start putting together the house of a playset. We, uh, I mean, I have a lot of ideas for the front & back yards. Dean is supporting those ideas. I'm sure it will all be a great learning experience, and maybe some fun, too!
