Well, fast forrard 8 years afterward together with this is how my dorsum yard looked a couplet of weeks agone :( As I told my husband, that's a junk yard! And  I'm pointing my finger at him for bringing stuff that didn't belong inward here, similar those gas tanks, the chairs...

Even the novel pots! I had them inward the basement but he was quick to pose them on display :D  I approximate that's his means to say me to become together with ready that infinite :/  So, that's what nosotros began doing finally weekend, together with nosotros started amongst the remains of the play-set.

Two years agone the swing laid broke apart, at the fourth dimension I used to a greater extent than or less of the woods to frame a mirror, create a wooden runner for the tabular array together with I fifty-fifty brought the ladder within the trace of piece of job solid every bit decoration.

For this, the finally role of the set, it was slowly for me to visualize it every bit a potting bench, form of ii potting benches. Can yous run into it correct here? Cut it inward half, add together front end legs to both sides together with voila...Two benches!

Easy, but non also slowly ;) I couldn't guide maintain done it without the man's help. He was inward accuse of unscrewing gratuitous well-nigh of the parts, together with permit me say yous THAT was the hardest part! Those screws were then rusty they didn't budge. He wasn't happy when I told him he couldn't harm the wood, but he worked his magic amongst those stubborn screws that kept spinning within the dry out wood. Some of them merely broke when trying to unscrew them.
The kickoff role was to guide maintain off the connecting side pieces together with all the vertical planks from the top part, the optic back upward underneath the platform was also taken off.


At this betoken I tried to cutting the platform inward half, laying it on its side, but nope! I had to plough it the correct side in ane trial to a greater extent than to produce that cut. This is how it looked afterwords.

Then nosotros worked on attaching the countertop front end support, the front end legs, the lower shelf supports together with finally the actual pieces for the lower shelf. That's the exclusively role that required extra material. The legs are non the same length, because the bench is going to sit down on a slanted space.

The shelf brackets were cutting out of the table runner project, fifty-fifty the ladder was used. I measured, cutting together with pose things together together with the human being did the pre-drills together with drove the screws in.

Here the bench waiting for the shelves, the lower role of the set, the sand box, was used for this.

At the terminate of the 24-hour interval this is how they looked.

After shopping the garage this is the novel await they sport.

Since the sled came amongst a hook, he  installed it right away on the fence. The H2O hose on the other hand, didn't instruct the especial treatment, he only threw it on the middle of the yard :/


I wasn't a fleck happy nearly that. I've been cleaning the backyard, planting flowers in addition to trying to become far hold back pretty, a hose correct inwards the middle or it all, didn't hold back good. >:(

Luckily, the playset came to the rescue 1 to a greater extent than time, I yet had some woods remnants from it, in addition to out of that woods my novel hose holder was built.

Three pieces of wood, every bit y'all tin encounter inwards the movie below (the lower back upwardly was cutting at 45° angles), were used. Pocket holes were done to connected it to 1 of the posts on the fence.

The smallest while was attached to the 12" board, using regular 3" screws.

Then, it was brought to the backyard to live on installed on the fence.

As a decoration, an outdoor faucet was attached correct on its front.

And a metallic element H2O sign was added to the fence.

Oh, it looks agency meliorate than laying in that place on the ground.
