Peggy is so blessed to have this awesome swingset that was a hand-me-down from her cousins, Gracie and Mac. When the Loves made plans to move, the fate of the swingset was in question. Gracie and Mac aren't the swingset age any longer and Michelle and Chuck couldn't bear leaving behind something that had meant so much to their children. So, we decided to take it. With plans to move it in July, we thought it would make a perfect second birthday present. It just needed a little staining and cleaning and then it would be good as new. Then, the installers came to get it and bring it to us. That is when the fun began. We learned that several pieces of the ground wood were rotten. While this swingset came with a lifetime warranty, the paperwork was long-gone, so that meant all repairs and parts would be out of pocket and expensive. So, for the next two months, I tried to get it covered with no success. Then, with the Loves' move reaching completion, we had to get it out of their yard. The installers were able to replace just a few pieces and make it work. It ended up costing us a little more, but not too much. Finally, we have a fully functional swingset in our backyard. It comes with many memories but has room for many more. Peggy loves the set and we now start many days here. I know her friends will enjoy it also. We still need to clean it up but overall, it is awesome!!!
