moving to the country in a few weeks and we want to buy the little guy a swingset/play set

 

i am looking for something that has decent built quality and is around $800

 

Ive seen some wooden sets in person for around 500 and they seemed unstable.....anyone have any suggestions from their own experiences

 

thanks

Yes, get rid of the kids.

 

All kidding aside, I have seen tons of people down here with the "Rainbow play sets" I am not sure how old the kid is but they seem entertaining. I personally think it would be a good idea to incorporate the Play set for the kid that has adult or adolescent activites like zip line or wall climb on it too.

 

Here is the Rainbow play sets;

its way way way cheaper to just design and build your own...i work at a place that sells the shit for the kits and they want 90 bucks just for those plastic rock things...just build your own

if i only had the time.....i will be lucky if i have time to assemble a pre-made one lol

 

 

its not rocket science me and a buddy built one from scratch last fall after seeing they wanted 20 bucks for the plans alone

Get one of these, much more fun and all can enjoy it :dunno:

 

We got this last yr and take the lil one to the park every few days.

IMO, i would not waste the $ on a swing set per say, but how bout a fort instead? That way instead of the kids outgrowing the swingset in a couple years, they can have a fort to use for many years to come... And you could easily attach a swing off of it ..

haha your motto must be "saftey first"

 

 

 

 

if you want a swingset, there are MANY places on the side of the road in the amish counties of pa where amish people sell sheds and swingsets that are very high quality for cheap

I see you are from the North....

 

Build an outdoor ice rink. That is what we do up here.

 

When I grew up we had a public park right across the street (was a very small suburban town). It had a softball field, ice rink, and a huge playset....slides, monkey bars, etc. The outdoor ice was used 100 times more than the others, even though it had the least amount of time. In the summer we went to the highschool and would swim in the indoor pool everyday for 50 cents.

It's not really warm enough, long enough to have an outdoor pool. Most people that have them here just sit around them and try to look important with a drink in their hand.

    • My son got a hatchback withe the aero package for like 17k new. Great little car with amazing MPH
    • Yeah, I've given up years ago with that! I was able to load a few when I first joined the site sometime around '07. Then after maybe 20 pics, it said I exceeded the limit. Now every pic I try to post says I've "exceeded 1mb".   ONE MB??? That's Windows 95 ******, lol!! 
    • I get the same results with pictures. Then I figure it out. Then I forget. Screw it.
    • I guess I'm the only one on this forum who can't get effing pics to load here! Do you have to resize them to post, or am I just blocked from uploads?   I have the same luck with automotive electronics ... but this is the ONLY site on the net that I have this problem!   I'd post pics of what I'm working on ... but I CAN'T! 🤬       Just fabbed up the kickdown cable (had to extend the cable mount WAAAY out from the throttle shaft to get a full pull), and parts arrived for the fuel lines on the 940 carb conversion project. Should be able to drive this thing by the end of the day. If not for work, I'd have had this thing done SIX weeks ago.   Got the jetting sorted out last week. Had a real bad tip-in bog that I couldn't seem to correct. Friggin float height was over 11mm too HIGH! eBay purchase, so no wonder everything is screwed up right out of the box! I ended up with a larger dual-squirt accelerator pump jet anyway instead of the single. Also moved the 70 primary idle jet (4 sizes too big out of the box) to the secondary idle circuit, and installed a 57 in the primary. Runs great on the fuel bottle!    Still using the computer for ignition. Going to drive it first and see if I want to go through the project of installing an intermediate shaft with a distributor drive gear, so I can install a block-mounted distributor and run points, 100% computer free. I should do that anyway just from a simplicity / reliability / tunability standpoint. The electronics left me stranded last year a couple times! I can't tweak the timing to my liking right now because of the computer. Tried twisting the cam-driven distributor already ... and the damned thing just reverts back to where it was! That's infuriating. But if it runs well enough I might save that for next season.   Just driving it in and out of the shop to work on other projects, it feels 1,000% more responsive with the carburetor. Also fires MUCH faster when cranking. Can't wait to drive it and see if I got more than 114 ponies, lolol.   Hopefully these don't go 404 like the last post ... https://postimg.cc/gallery/MjhrmZS   Seems like that site went back to dial-up internet! Maybe they'll fix that some day ...
    • Triumph makes me think of cars not bikes. Especially with model names like the TR7, that was a Triumph car model too. Peak TR for me was the TR250. You could retain the post-war roadster looks, with an optional surrey hard top, but with an inline 6 engine instead of the TR4's anemic 4-cylinder, but still have a 4 speed, optional overdrive.   I know almost nothing about Triumph bikes, except that they exist. Good looking bikes though.   I don't know if I could just have one vehicle. The Silverado does it all except for fitting anywhere. But it leaves a void in real driving enjoyment, unless driving an extremely large sofa is your thing.   What did I do to my 'other' (muslce car - which one!?) vehicle lately. I took my '23 SS for a drive. It's only got 1600 miles. I keep reminding myself I shouldn't be so precious about this car. It likes to be driven. Needs to be driven. Life is short and if I don't enjoy it, someone else will. The other half calls it "the garage ornament".
