The Joy of Building






Over the last few weeks Rich has had a fun project he's been working on. A swing set. For any of you who have put one of these together you probably know what he's been through. We bought it almost 3 weeks ago and we finally finished it all on wednsday. He worked on it every night after work until it got dark and on the weekends. It was a lot of work and a lot of frustration, but the reward is finally here. The girls absolutely love having it to play on. It occupies them for quite a long time. It's wonderful. Here's some pictures to show the process of building the swing set. When my Dad and Brad and Don got into town for Abby's baptism we put them to work to finish the box around the swing set and help us put all the mulch down. Thank you to all of you. It was sure nice to get it all done so I didn't have to worry about all the dirt getting into the house. It turned out great. Thanks Rich, the girls love it. Even if they do think my mom built it. We are going to have many fun times on it.

What an awesome swing set.

Did you go private for a while with your blog? I have you on my blog page but just barely got that you have posted anything. I enjoyed all the previous posts that I missed.

It looks nice and warm there in AZ.
