Ok I know it has been a while since my last post. Here is the update. So we finally got the swingset built... Jeff pretty much said you all should stick it. hahaha Anyways so it is really neat and I helped with most of it. Yes Yes we even went and bought me a drill so I could help put it together. We still need to stain it which is a sore topic since usually you stain before you build but Jeff didn't want to do it the normal way. He had to be different so I will have to stain it carefully. So it did rain the whole time we built it which the box says 5-10 hours oh please that must be based on santa's helpers building it. We started Saturday and we did not get done until Tuesday night. We still aren't done since I have to stain it and we are adding some toys to it. It really was a great experience... I never would tell Jeff that, what have him know he was right hmmmph never :)
So we didn't have anyone come help us because we wanted to do it ourselves since our families always help. It was our grueling task and I didn't want anyone to have to suffer. Sonia and David only suffered because they just came over without asking. Sonia heard the sickness in my voice and she told me to call her later and then was at my house 30 minutes later. She is a sweetheart. I met her at my work. She is from Mexico City and lived there for a while and then moved to Utah. Her family speaks mainly Spanish but they do know a lot of English. I have been trying to learn Spanish so that I can talk with them because they are so nice and just welcome you right in as if you are family. Well back to the swing set...
So Jeff and David were getting the base put up and I was inside cleaning the house. Jeff comes in laughing and tells me to get the digital camera. So I do and walk outside looking for what is so funny. Didn't see it at first until Jeff said look at the ladder. So I did and wow these geniuses had put one of the boards right through the ladder so the ladder was attached to the main part of the swing set which sounds simple to undo the board and move the ladder. Well if they had noticed it when it had just been done it would have been but when you have continued on it wasn't such an easy task. Well they got it fixed and went on their merry way. That was probably the only set back we had other then the rain. So I will load the pictures of it once I can find my cable for my camera. Well that is about all. I will keep u updated. Love you all.
