Remember the Free Playground?

Some of you may remember when we brought home a playground in May we found for free on Craig's List.

David has been working on it little by little over the summer. It needed some reinforcing, some sanding, some paint stripped off, priming, staining, and reconstruction.

Here
are the BEFORE photos.

Now, here is the AFTER!


Andrew has thoroughly enjoyed playing on it, and he LOVES the slide. He is so excited to have a playground in his backyard.

One day, Andrew and I came home from shopping while David had been finishing the project. We walked over to the sliding patio doors, and walked on to the patio. We did not prompt Drew - yet as soon as he saw his playground, painted and put together, he exclaims: "Daddy, you did it! You did it! You made my playground beautiful!" Priceless words out of his mouth, and Dave was so touched by Andrew's sincerity and excitement.
