Over 1000 pounds of parts in five 8
foot boxes.
The instructions say this build should
take 20 - 24 hours to complete.
We worked on laying out parts and
surveying for a few hours the first
night... framed most of it up from
noon to 2am the next day and
finished it up in about 4 hours on the
third day.

I'd say it took us right at 20 hours.
Box 1 contained over 40 pounds of
hardware.
Surveying the proposed site.
All main supports in place and
starting to level ground.
Baseboards in place and anchors in
the ground... time to start building up.
Got the decking in place.
Many hours of work later (actually
the next day) and the upper and
lower decks are in, railings are up,
ladder and swings are ready and the
roof is underway.
Trying out the swings.
The slide goes here.

Tyler likes to play way after dark
some days, so he said that we
needed a "digger" and some "lectric"
wires so we can pit in some lights.

He wanted air conditioning too, but I
told him that he needs doors and
windows first.
Starting the trench.

That is the first 50'... the next leg
went for 100' then another 10' or so
to the clubhouse.  Took about 1
hour to dig with the trencher.
Makes short work and a clean cut.
Service Enterance

I chose to run the hot line in upstairs
so it would be away from the playing
area.

Upstairs lighting and GFCI
receptacle.
Downstairs lighting and
weatherproof switch.

All of the fixtures are sealed with
foam rubber seals.  Ought to last a
long time.
Lights on!
