In-Between-Jobs-Project, Part 3: Almost Done ...


Look, almost done

... well, not quite but in the picture you can see the first of two sides. The plan calls for 6 4x4 redwood posts set in concrete. I slightly modified that. INstead of putting them in conrete (which makes the whole thing unmoveable), the whole structure rests on pressure-treated 4x4s. I know, I know, you shouldn't expose kids to pressure treated stuff but no worries, they will be covered. Anyway, that pressure treated 4x4s are then anchored in the ground using big construction stakes (scary looking nails (3/4 " thick and 3 feet long). That thing ain't going anywhere...
