Finished Shed1017 viewsAnother view of the finished shed from a side angle. Eventually we will add some landscaping to soften the edges and foundation of the shed.

Turbo Tube Slide1015 viewsThe Tube Slide is the highlight of this playground. As a relatively expensive option, we were going to leave it off, hoping to add it "someday" but then decided that this, unlike several of the other parts of the playground, was something William could use NOW and we'd get more value out of it just by adding it from the start. It assembled together with something like a million bolts, nuts, and washers. Thank goodness for air ratchets... In this picture, we hadn't yet finished the bottom of the slide so it's just resting on boards.

Priming finished, Painting started1010 viewsThe priming is now finished, and we've painted the siding! If you compare this picture with those above, you'll see the siding has changed from a darker brown (which was the original primed color) to a lighter brown, which matches the color of our home. Notice we had already started using the shed at this point.

Previous Owner's Family Room1001 viewsHere is a picture of the room as the previous owner had it set up. We liked the sectional idea which is why we purchased our own.

Family Room972 viewsAnother view of our family room. The wet bar is in the back corner. The cedar walls also extend to the lower hallway and bathroom, giving this area a distinct and casual feel as compared to the upstairs.

William checks out the situation967 viewsIn the foreground, William poses with great anticipation of his new playground. In the background, you can see the status at this point-- most of the lower deck is now complete, except for the "barrier boards" which make up the railings.

Insidethe Shed954 viewsHere's a view with the door open. We added some hanging storage for long-handled tools to the left of the tractor. Eventually we will add shelving in front of the tractor as well.

942 viewsAnother view of the pond, with the fountain and part of our back yard.

View from "the penthouse"936 viewsHere's the bird's eye view from the top deck. To the left of the camera is the entrance for the turbo slide, and behind the camera is the rock wall.

|
Back Yard935 viewsA view of part of our back yard, with Cathy and Bailey still playing. By late fall when this picture was taken, our pond (in the background) had obtained a bright green coating. Starting in 2003 we retained a pond service to help with this condition and keep the pond in better shape.

|
Back side932 viewsView from the back, showing the rock wall and swings (which we had clamped in the picture as they were a little compressed from the box. Under the tower we will be adding a sandbox and small "ball tent" area.

Rot repair914 viewsAfter some research we supported the joist, rebuilt the wall below, and patched in a new section of joist.
