a BIG birthday present

This year we decided to get Rett and Ellie a BIG birthday present. One they will surely enjoy for years to come...what better to get them than a wooden playset??!! After looking at hundreds of playsets online and in catalogs we had exhausted our search and hadn't found "the one". All of the playsets we found were really long and would take up more than half of our backyard. Unhappy and exhausted we did a search for "custom wooden playsets" and found an individual who builds custom wooden playsets. We met with him and designed a "space saver" playset that fit our backyard. Since we designed it, we were able to choose which accessories we wanted on it. The final product has a 10 ft slide, 2 swings, a trapeze bar, a climbing wall with rapelling rope, a firemans pole and a decked and railed bottom floor in addition to the fort above. We plan on staining it...but the builder suggested we wait about a month for the wood to settle.

Here it is:
