Mr. Sandman
750 pounds of sand just doesn't seem to go as far as it used to.
In the middle of all my landscaping, I suddenly realized that I should build the kids' swingset before summer is over. So, two days and a ton of wood later they are now swinging, climbing, and sliding to their heart's content. Last thing to do was to haul in some sand. After some faulty calculations, I now realize that it's going to take another 5000 pounds of play sand to provide a nice cushion around the entire structure.
But it will have to wait. With predicted temperatures of 103 on Saturday and 104 on Sunday, we will be up to our nosehairs in the lake from sun-up to sundown for the next few days.
Stay cool.

Phil, can I be one of your kids?
The kids must be very proud playing in their 'home-made' playground from the sweat of their own dad!
You've done a good nob!
Sorry typo error! "Job' not "nob"..
Phil, that's so great! What a handy man you are. It's cold in Perth and we get some well deserved rain. I'll send some over :)
how about sprinkler? set up the sprinkler so it's going back and forth over the kids as they swing? Although even that might not be enough if it's 104!!
WOW, the world's largest litter box. :)
Seriously, that couldn't be more fun. The kids are lucky!
good for you! and 5000 pounds of sand?? omigosh. omigosh. read your piece on HBO; right on. I am exactly where you are. have a great weekend.
Blog roll reciprocated.
Thanks for finding me.
I have been putting off the swing set for 2 years now. Next year it will happen, hold me to it.
Just wanted to drop a line. The BEST day skiing I ever had was at Grand Targhee in Idaho under the Tetons. Simply amazing.
very nice.
Whoo dude, easier to just get some landscaping place to bring a load to your house than you doing any real hard work.
Could you summarize all the $ you've spent this year with the outside stuff?
