My two best friends are coming this weekend and between the three of us we have 5 1/2 kids...the 1/2 being ours. hehe. So, I decided to do some things in the yard like get the swing set all set up for the kids to play on. In the spirit of saving money and being green I decided to spend a very little amount of money and re-use some wood I had in the barn to make a swing. The whole project cost us all of $10 and that was just for the rope. I had the varnish, the wood, and the structure was already in place in our yard of course. I think the kids are going to love being able to swing and play all over the yard. And, it held me up so I know it will support a few kids.
