So, for Chase's Christmas present, we decided to get him a play set. We investigated Woodplay sets, which are known for their durability and longevity. Well, they are also really expensive, even with heavy discounts right now on their entire product line. Anyway, since they are so durable, we decided to look on Craigslist for used ones. We found one in the Raleigh area that was gently used. A family in Cary with 3 kids, the youngest of which is now 10, didn't really use it any more, so they were getting rid of it. It presented a good deal to us, and included installation. That is, Woodplay (the manufacturer) charges $350 to break it down, transport it, and then re-build it at our house. This $350 was included in the price, so we felt like it was a good deal.
Anyway, the installation took a few days, because there were a few rotten boards. Woodplay guarantees the wood, so they replaced these boards for free...but it took a few days to get the pieces in. Here are a few pictures from the installation process, and then the final result.
Merry Christmas to Chase...and thank you so much to the family members who contributed to Chase's Christmas present. Even though he got it early, hopefully through the videos below, you can appreciate how happy his present has made him!
And now for the videos (4) of Chase's introduction to his new play-set.
