How long did that take to assemble?

Default ummm. haven't started yet.

I bought it used so I disassembled it in LARGE pieces to make the re-assembly easier. the hardest part should be positioning and leveling the 2 tower sections. that will likley take a few hours. after that is done, I am estimating about 2 or 3 hours to re-attach the pieces.

If it had been new, would easily have been a 10-15 hour assembly project.

Default Glad you didn't use the "lumber Jetta" technique:) ...happy workout...

My husband has done this twice...our daughters are seven years apart and in between we moved...first time our new house went without a deck (from the 2nd story for a year as the swingset playhouse projects came first...for the second daughter swingset came before fence building for the horses In our family we think all of these things are learned at the "ADademy" where dads learn this and other fun things like how to make you stand for long periods of time to take your photo and many other useful things Looks like it will be a winner when it's done...btw from my many years of project management experience my bet would be to double your estimate of time...even longer if you have "help" and they are begging for it to be done

Default double my estimate still might not be bad.

I will likely have some help this weekend if I wait that long. And, I am hoping my wife can keep the little ones busy while the re-construction is going on. that should keep the schedule moving quickly.

Default sorry, but price wise the mexican guys down on the corner in town have you beat.

and for that matter they are more expensive than my friends here who will work for pizza and beer.
