We decided to get the boys a fort for the backyard. Today Hubby decided he would start building. According to the instructions it is to take 12-16hrs with 1 adult + 1 adult helper. Hubby is still searching for an adult helper as I told him I'm more foreman material than helper.
Here is how it was delivered:
After the boxes were opened:
So far he has assembled the ladder, monkey bar and rock climbing wall. He has lined up a mate to come over tomorrow and be 'adult helper' so hopefully he can get stuck into the nitty gritty of it.
The backyard:
We spent Easter weekend levelling our mudpit and laying turf. Hubby & I did this on our own, and keeping in mind it rained most of the weekend and we have 2 kids, I'm pretty impressed with our efforts getting it done in 4 days. The turf is doing well - the photos were taken today so only 2 patches that might need replacing out of 150 isn't too bad!
Before (okay so the water wasn't that bad, and we had a side fence. This was the only unturfed pic I have on this computer):
Here are the afters... The tank looking things will eventually be vegie gardens. As you can see that's another weekend's work yet to be done :)
Fingers are crossed that the fence will be going in next week. Life will be so much easier when we can take S1 down with us and not spend the whole time retrieving him from the top of the retaining walls!!!
