This pile of crap is supposedly going to be a swing set in a matter of hours.

A tube of construction adhesive and a couple of lag bolts every 24" should make a sturdy enough beam.

1st of three a-frames.

Gotta get a little creative when you're building by yourself.

I managed to hold it up long enough to join them.

The platform is about complete.

Only took 3 tries but I got it up and didn't get myslef crushed.

The last a-frame in place and bolted.

Yours truely defying gravity.

The structure is complete.

It survived the lard ass test without any creaking or groaning.

Now the inspectors are down to check the work. They seem satisfied. Time to clean up.
