Monday patriots day thread

another rainy day here so not going to put down mulch this afternoon like I planned. Had to call off the child labor I had hired. Maybe try again Wednesday or Thursday, whichever I don't have tennis.
 
Golf scramble yesterday, turned in a shiny 70. With this group, I was hoping for par or better, and there were only four of us playing.

Snow storm overnight prevented the kids from getting back on the road. Having three dogs in the house has been...interesting.
 
The one we're replacing looks kind of like this:

I'll have to get a bracket that can go on a wood beam, and a new glider that fits the bracket.
Cut the pipe off, that the current bracket is attached to, and then drill through the pipe, and bolt it through, or around the wood beam, with u bolts, or through bolts.
 
If you can't be handsome, you should at least be handy
I was at an inspection last week, and the buyers showed up, with the seller being gone for the day. One of the buyers started playing the piano that was there. I was blown away by her talent. She played a couple classical tunes, I don't know which ones, because I know nothing about them, but it was amazing. I have no "talent" to speak of, but I sure did appreciate it.

Now, you need some shit put together, or rigged to work, or a face to scare some neighborhood kids, I'm your guy.

I'm more of a demo guy. Love tearing shit down or felling trees.

We had a metal/plastic one with a glider, kids liked that. We also added a plastic bucket swing that we tied to the "T" of the clothesline pole when my daughter was a little shit.
We actually have two metal frames. The neighbors gave us one that we used for a baby swing for both Ham and Tank. We bought the second when Ham was two or three, so she'd have the slide and glider and other things to play with. tWife had been keeping her eye out for a haulaway project on an old swingset, and here we are.
 
very old school

nice upgrade
Yeah, this should help de-clutter the yard some. We had the swingset and a small play house when Ham was little, now she'll have a bigger house and bigger swings, and it should last us through Tank growing up. Have a few pieces of wood on the roof that need to be replaced, and one of the beams in the inside is showing a bit of rot and should be replaced, but otherwise it seems like a good wash and a coat of stain should do the trick.
 
someone just texted me, wants to buy my house, cash

I'm sure it's legit
