Playsets cost anywhere from $300 to $20,000. Guessing the average new set would be between $500-1000. Yes. Seriously. What we do for our kids.
Anyway, not in the budget for us. I posted on our neighborhood Facebook group if anyone wanted to get rid of one. Someone answered and said we could have theirs for free since it needed a lot of work!
She turned out to be a neighbor who lives only 4 houses north of us.
Jason was not sure it was worth anything when he first saw the damaged boards and the rusted screws, but he consented to work on it.
He proceeded to spend hours upon hours in the evenings taking the pieces apart and stacking them in our garage, going to Lowe's, buying tools and stain, sanding the wood, reattaching the pieces, staining the wood and installing new hardware.
After many, many hours of hard work, the playset looks like new! We were both very impressed with the quality playset it is now!
The boys wanted to help every step of the way as Jason worked on this project.
The finished product
The new playset is now in action!
