I built this for my daughter summer of '07. She was just turning 2.
My next door neighbor was tearing down the playset in his yard that he
inherited from the previous owner and was starting to be an eyesore. He gave
me the slide and two normal swings. I bought the "baby" swing from Home Depot
for very little. My daughter is tall for her age, so the baby swing barely
fits her anymore. The slide doubles as a "water slide" in the summer with a
little water from the hose.
I think I spent a few weekends and a couple hundred dollars on the project. I
had some leftover PT and non-PT wood from other projects and my deck.
