My mom found this gem in the classifieds on KSL. A family who had moved here from out of state a few years ago had this swing set at their old house. When they moved they decided to bring it with them but they didn’t have the instructions for it anymore. So they labeled all of the pieces with blue tape and made their own instructions on how to reassemble it. Five years later they never ended up putting it together and they had lost their homemade instructions. All they had was a picture of their kids playing on it, and it wasn’t even a picture of the whole thing. My mom was very excited when she found it, but when I saw the pile of wood I wasn’t so sure. It was a process that took the whole family, but we figured it out, and the boys love it! It’s not quite finished, but we have some big plans for it in the Spring.
The picture they gave us, our instructions.
All of the pieces
Staining all of the pieces
The decroded blue tape that was on every single piece of wood and had to be removed - I think this took the most time.
My mom (the brains of the operation) and Matt studying the picture tyring to figure it out.
Progress!
Trial run on the swings.
Helping dad
The final product, for now at least.
