It is done. Â I mean, I have to replace two overly long screws, put on two pairs of handrails and install some ground anchors for when Lugnut decides to see if he can loop the swing. Â But it is done. Â The Dailylife Wife even gets to park in the garage tonight! (One night only!)

This is the swing set part of things. Â It went together fine until the 4×4 going up into the green bracket on this side decided to slip while I was trying to connect the bolts and hit my arm, which is connected to my shoulder, which had gotten a lot better with several visits to the Chiropractor, but has been undone, I think.

The hooks for the swings. Â Of course. I apparently used the wrong washers earlier in the project and was three short…I had to run to Ace for three ten cent washers. Â Then I got back and discovered I had put the first five bolts in without the lock washers…
<<sigh>>
I thought these would be hard to do since the nut for the glider/swing links is inside of the metal tube, but it went on quite easily.
In the instructions all of the swings and chains are attached >>before<< putting this beam up on the side of the fort. Â I decided that step could wait a few minutes.
The glider.
The glider and swings.
A two photo panorama to see the whole thing…it is just that big!
