Playstructure
Wince, my lower back has a sensation like a knife is sawing through it. I know why. I finished sanding the wood post for the play structure I been working on since last year. Sanding you say whatever for? Well it isn't a premade set. I got the directions from the website http://www.byoswingset.com it was actually a kit that came with page by page instruction and bolts for assembly. Why, did I go this route when there are perfectly good play structure companies out there. Good, question I ask myself that every time I look at the pile of wood on my back patio everyday. Truthfully though when I turn on the power tools and work on it, I love it. It is one of the few occupations I do where I completely clear my mind. I can't think about anything else while handling a machine that can dismember or permanently injure me. So I end up in that Zen state of the uncarved block in my mind.
I went this route for two reasons, one the equivalent play structure would be around 5,000 if course I think I'm at the 3,000 mark by now but its been over a year instead of all at once. The second reason was , besides wanting something special for the kids to play with I wanted something I can look at a go wow I did that. So I'm enduring a little muscle soreness. When its all done and I will be able to say "Go play outside!" The time and energy will be totally worth it.
