Well, in case you don't feel like clicking the link, remember this picture?
We bought this playset at the end of August. And then Mr. Simple was gone many weekends, and it rained, and rained, and rained. And only had help one weekend, way back in early September, and that was one guy. But he has kept at it, working on it when he could. By early this October, it was functional. The rock wall, slide, rope wall, and tire swing and the beams for the swings were all up. The only thing left to do was put the roof on. And then it rained. And he was out of town. This weekend, he decided that he was going to finish it, rain or shine. It rained Thursday. It rained Friday. It sprinkled on Saturday. It sprinkled on Sunday. It rained off and on today.But he decided to do it anyway. He did it when he could. When it wasn't pouring. And today, right before dinner, he finished. He was excited.
So were we. The kids love it. I love it. I'm so glad that we bought it. It will provide many years of fun. Thank you Mr. Simple for all your hard work!!!!

I love that picture! I bet Mr. Simple has learned a thing or two. You'll have to give the playset a name like "Mt. Rushmore" only for your family. It's great.
We love ours too!! I am so happy for Mr. Simple! Kyle had LOTS of help on ours-his dad!
Don't forget that he fell off the ladder on Sunday, landed flat on his back and STILL managed to finish the work after that!
