I didn’t do this, my son built it. He’s a chip off the old block, doesn’t work from plans, just does it. It has 2 slides, a rope ladder, numerous regular ladders, 3 swings, 1 climbing wall, 1 trapdoor, 1 fireman’s pole, 1 mail box, 1 rope climb, 1 steering wheel, 1 lookout with telescope, a covered playhouse & probably some more stuff I forgot. It has the boys flag, mom’s contribution. The flames are for Robert and the dragon for Drake. It is set in concrete, framed with treated lumber and made of kid type treated lumber on all the play surfaces.

Your son is a genius like his father. How old is he? Given proper environment and encouragement see what youngsters can do. Let his talent increase day by day.

It’s pretty nice :-)) I’m not sure, it was a weekend deal when he had time. More than one for sure. He’s 37 now. I was at home for a visit when I was in my 30’s. My dad was siding a horse barn. He wanted me to help by handing him nails just like when I was a little kid. Not qualified to drive them yet even though I was a journeyman electrician at 23 and every one knows you have to be a journeyman carpenter to become an apprentice electrician. When my son was 15 or so, he was helping me replace some rotting decking. I had him driving the nails. I told him how advanced he was for his age since I wasn’t allowed to drive nails for my dad when I was 35 ;-))

Now that has about everything a kid could possibly want. You ought to recruit your son into LJ. It looks like he is taking after you.
