Monday xtraining

Does working on a playstructure count?
Got my daughter a tube slide for the play structure. Actually, I found it. During one of my runs I came across a couple of guys hauling it out to the side of the road. I asked them if they were throwing it away. They said yes and I could have it if I wanted it. Hell yeah! I sprinted back home, snagged my neighbor Jeff and his truck. Next thing I know, I got a big 'ol tube slide laying next to our play structure. Of course, I just planned on attaching it to the existing structure. NOT. After taking the measurements and I found the existing set-up would not work. So I designed a new platform that will attach to the existing one, just three feet higher.
I gathered up all my spare lumber laying around, one trip to Lowes, and a lot of late nights and the kids now have one very cool addition to the playset! Happy Days!
