Playset Makeover

We inherited this playset from the previous owners of the house, whose children are mostly now in middle school and high school. As you can imagine, the playset has been pretty neglected over the last few years, and needed a little attention. The cover was missing off the top (probably either blew away or got damaged by bad weather), the swing was a pitiful old wooden swing hung by rope that I was afraid wouldn't even hold Carter's weight, and the ring bar was rusty and gross. So we replaced all of those things, Eric went around and tightened some bolts to make it a little less rickety, and hung up the baby swing for Ella. We figured about a $75 dollar investment to get it into better shape for the nice weather coming up this fall would definitely be worth it, and it definitely has been.... the kids are loving their swings! And Carter loves his fort. :)

 She looks a little terrified, but I promise, she loves to swing!
