Construction day 1

Started work at 8:30 this morning and by some time late morning I'd got the basic struture in place. I needed to create the 2 side structures on flat ground so I did it on the driveway. Trouble is they are heavy as hell and Mrs P and I could barely move them round to the garden. But we managed althought getting them upright was no easier.

Several hours later and we're at this stage. Tomorrow's work is to construct an A frame for the swing rail support, fit swing rail and swings, construct the stairs, attach the rock wall, attach the slide and if I get a chance construct the wood roof. If time is short I'll be using the tarp that the send with the kit, the wood roof is considered optional but it will last longer.
