Takes More Effort To Build Than To Tear Apart

About 8 years ago, my brother and I spent the good part of an afternoon drinking beer and building my daughter's swingset. We had a pretty good time doing it, and she loved playing on the swingset for many years. Our son never really got into it that much, and for the past few years it hasn't been used much, and due to rust and lack of use it became time to take it down and get rid of it. (We tried giving it away, nobody wanted it, of course).

Last week I took it apart. Took a little more than an hour, just me. A life lesson in microcosm, I guess.

Just another milestone in the growing up of your kids. We replaced our daughters swingset with a trampoline. With the required safety net, of course. 5 years down the line, we still have the trampoline. Sans net. It got in the way. Can't do adequate front hand springs, and back hand springs with the net.

Namaste.
