Hello to all! I am a proud father of 5 who definitely needed a playhouse. 2 years ago I went shopping for the coolest playground made of wood at all the retailers out there. I didn't realize how absolutely rediculously expensive those things are. I spent about 6 months shopping around. I even went on craig's list to buy a used one until I kept seeing the dreaded message... You need to move. That would mean I would have to take the thing apart and put it back together and still the ticket price was expensive. But my children didn't understand my dilemma. Their concept is simple....I want dad. So I got this crazy idea....maybe I can hire someone to build from scratch. I started getting price quotes and nothing was under 2 grand. Now granted I wanted a wood castle that would make all the princess jealous. My kids deserve the best thing that daddy can afford. I know this sounds like an oxymoron but daddy can't afford much. With that being said, I needed to figure this thing out. As a man, this decision became easy, build a playground and make your children happy. So I started doing my research. There are these kits that retailers sell that basically require you to buy all the materials at their shop. What I wanted to look at were blue prints of what I wanted. I was committed on making this work. I gave myself a deadline of 2 months which happened to be Christmas. On one of the blue prints I bought onling, with all things considered, the ticket price was $850 for all materials which was more than a 50% markdown but it really didn't do the step by step instructions that I really needed. Now I don't know if I told you this but I am definitely mechanically challenged. I needed step by step plans so no thought was required to get this thing built. I started realizing how difficult this project would be so I didn't begin this project. Remember, the precision that goes into something like this was imperative to the success of the playground. Then I came across an article which guided me to this e-book .

With my deadline still right in front of me I decided to buy the ebook only being out around $40. Dude, this made my project seem possible. I am not an advertisement here but this ebook is hands down the best complete directions available anywhere. What it does is it spells out all steps and really is designed for the non mechanic that I am. I went and bought everything I needed which was $725
* wood (the most expensive)
* individual swings (3)
* tree house
* monkey bars
* slide
* rock climbing wall
* stairs
* all the nuts, bolts, and screws
I ended up saving close to 65% and because all the planning was done for me, I finished in 5 days. (about 25 hours total) I wish I could show you but it looks like a professional job. Take it from me, buy this ebook and have it assist you in building an outstanding playground. The next project that I promised my kids is a treehouse and this ebook is going to take my step by step to build it. The author of this ebook deserves major props for developing this.
