Play Fort Part I

We decided the little person needed a swing set/ play fort. I tried to find one already built and buy it off of craigslist- no luck. We went to the local home improvement stores and we saw some amazing kits but they were very pricey. We went on line and found plans – very detailed, designed by a retired shop teacher of course, and for a small fee downloaded the the blue prints. We took our materials list back to the home improvement store and with a truck load of materials later we were ready to start building.

Bring on the lumber

We cleared the space where the sand box was.

Now for the power tools- don’t worry the battery pack isn’t in it.

We assembled the sides on the ground and then lifted them into place.
