We have been wanting to upgrade our backyard playset for a while now. As much as I have wanted one of the big wooden Rainbow brand play sets, I have had no desire whatsoever to have anything to do with the assembly process. The local Rainbow dealer was having a free installation special but even with the "free" installation, the total price tag was about double the cost of the exact same play set at Costco. Of course the Costco option did not include installation. So somehow we struck a deal with our good friend Chaz to help us out. He has incredible skills and a heart of gold! Here is the story in pictures...
Before
At Costco
An overwhelming amount of parts
The assembly begins
A couple of Radio Flyer trikes help to move the initial frame off the patio and over to the actual spot in the yard
Almost there
Hooray!!! The kids are all over it and having a blast!
After
Thanks to Chaz for making this possible. Without him, I would probably be working on this until sometime in the late fall, early winter. That is why Chaz is our nomination for Time Magazine's Person of the Year!

Way to go! That will be a lifesaver!
LUCKY! I so want one of those.
Adriel's eyes are SO wide with excitement. She wants to come play RIGHT NOW. We can't wait to come back!
I'm so happy for you, what a great friend you have, lucky you!!!
Yay for Chaz! That's awesome! I want one of those nice swingsets! Hope the kids love it for years and years to come!
Congrats on the new play stuff. And I don't know Chaz but already I love him for saving you the work.
What can Chaz NOT fix or build? Pretty much nothing. Katie had fun on the play set. Can we come play again?
been there, done that. It took FOREVER huh! thank goodness my dad had Brian, just like you had Chaz. It's definitely NOT a one man job but your kids will be happy for life! ok, maybe not for life... but close!
