Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 24 (4/22)
So Thursday night I took a look at what was going on the next day and decided to take the day off of work. Building the playset was not the only reason, but it was definitely one factor. Also the kids were off school (due to Good Friday) so I thought it would be nice…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 23 (4/21)
No work on Wednesday due to other activities, and Thursday was packed too – but after I got home and put the kids to bed, I wanted to at least get in a little bit of work, even though it was almost dark. I had the monkey bars assembled, so I went ahead and attached…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 20 (4/18)
Sunday again was a (beautiful) day of rest, so I was back on the playset work come Monday evening. Hard to believe I’ve been at this for nearly 3 weeks now! I’m of two minds as to the length of time. On the one hand, I could have had this playset up a lot sooner…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 18 (4/16)
Friday was a day of no playset building due to other evening activities, and things were not looking good for Saturday either. It’s been pretty frustrating the past few weeks how each week it’s been beautiful on Sunday (a day of rest when I don’t work on this) but rainy and cold each Saturday. And…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 15 (4/13)
After getting in a few hours on Saturday after the rain, I did not work on Sunday as usual and then was rained out on Monday. Tuesday we had van troubles and I was not in the mood to continue playset work, so it was Wednesday before I was able to get back into things.…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 11 (4/9)
Saturday was a very rainy day. Yup, it pretty much rained ALL DAY. It finally tapered off in the late afternoon, so I was able to work a bit on the playset. So last time you may remember that there was a bit of a problem on Step 32. This bolt was not lining up.…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 10 (4/8)
Friday night promised to be another good day for playset building. Weather was going to cooperate, and Carolyn was going to take a kid to soccer, leaving me free to continue work. As I mentioned last time, work for today was going to be up on the top level of the clubhouse. And of course,…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 9 (4/7)
They say it’s my birthday!! Doo doo doo doo doo duh doo! But what could be more fun to do on your birthday than continue building a giant playset?!?!? I’m not sure. Now that the playset is out in its “final resting place”, it is a little more challenging to get set up and put…
