Swing Set Hazards

Russ assembled a swing set for the grandkids this past Saturday. It took four hours due to the wrong placement of bars, numerous small parts, and the occasional scramble looking for loose washers. 

The kids loved it and before it was totally assembled, they already manned the swings. 

The wildest part was the notice of warnings that was to be posted on the top cross bar. Seriously, they didn't want kids to stand on, jump off, or hang over swings. 

 It's like expecting a newborn to stay dry. Anyway, it provided great material for my column for the Herald this week.
