Play set for the boy's. The basic layout is from Swing-times "Cascade" model hardware kit that I picked up on closeout from Home Depot for $30. I altered the plans a bit to get it to fit between the tree & shed and added additional "activity stations". Constructed entirely of pressure treated pine with dog-eared fence slats used for the roof (always be a good neighbor and use hurricane straps). My personal opinion on the whole pressure treated wood debate is that it's fine for most everything, just use common sense; I won't be turning any bowls and microwaving my foods in it. The most expensive item was the "space shuttle", at $99 it boosted the total price of the play set to around $275 but it's already paid for itself in smiles. |
