The next day we were all moving a little slower than the day before. With aching muscles, a few cups of coffee, and determination, we plugged along. The First thing was to sort the wood in the garage, move posts to play space and mark the post positions.
After moving the posts, 6 x 6 x 16's and 6 x 6 x 12's, I was not a happy camper!
It was very heavy and after the third larger post,
we decided to try a wheel barrow to help carry the load.
Then it was on to marking the posts while I ran off to Home Depot
to pick up some 1 x 4 x 8's that did not come in our delivery.
It took us two days to get the posts dug, level, squared and concreted into the ground.
One of our friends came over and helped Karl with the last four posts on Saturday
while I baked bread and ran a few errands.
I think it was quite an accomplishment!
You can see the basic outline of the space,
the other square is for the sand pit next to the structure.
Later that evening, we enjoyed a cookout at
Laura and Micheal's house before running to the fairgrounds for fireworks.
It was very quaint with the small town feel we are growing to cherish.

It was a very long day, so we took the next day to relax and play board games with kiddos.
