I know most everyone that reads this is just itching to learn about where the studio project is at, but Jen needs to take a break from working and will be doing a few posts this week (she wants to make sure she hasn’t missed any of the fun happenings on West Street with all the different pictures she has on her computer)!
In any case, a few weeks back (on the very first hot, humid weekend we had for the season), Graham needed a break from the studio and decided to surprise Jen by taking down the swing set in the back yard. In reality, he was just sick of mowing around it!
As some of you have seen, our house came equipped with a bomb shelter…..errr…..a playhouse in the backyard. Attached to it was the swingset. The ultimate goal is to have both of them come down, but getting the swingset down was a good starting point!
(you should know that all of the pictures below are taken by Jen sitting in a comfortable chair, at a comfortable distance away, with a cool beverage in her hand……..Jen thought Graham was crazy for tackling this on such a warm day, but couldn’t miss the picture taking opportunity) But now that I see the swings in this light maybe I could go the other way and look for an upgrade? I’ve heard a denver swing set is a great option for upgrading. But we will have to wait and see.
So at this point, Jen thinks there is just a couple of bolts left to take off (on the left hand side of the set where it was attached to the playhouse). Little did she know the rocking and swinging method still needed to be employed:
