Ya kaks! Heh, all I've gotten accomplished was staking out where we're putting it and unloading, unpacking it and checking the materials. HA!

He's never going to ride. It took him 3 hours and 20 minutes just to open the box.

Shouldn't take you more than one afternoon if you have the help of one guy...Man God and his dad mounted one as big as this one in our backyard, took them about 4-5 hours. Then again, they work on construction and are used to do more complicated stuff so this was a piece of cake for them. Even if it takes you one or 2 days to put it up togueter...it's such a nice piece of equipment for your little Tovah...she's gonna love it.

Fun for his child? Hell, I'd like a jungle gym to play on, and I'm 23 in a few weeks!

[Stoneman]

-Shouldn't take more than a day of solid work. Probably end up doing mosta it myself...

-Took me 3 hours to get outta the boxes, 'cuz the set weighs 900 lbs. Not something I coulda just lugged on over and slapped up. Plus, I like to label all the parts and separate 'em in the order I'll be assembling...

-Riding? Now THAT'S funny. I've ridden so little these last two years, that when I wanna ride I hafta put the charger on my battery the night before...

-Fun? Yes. I don't remember these things when I was a kid. What happened to the typical metal A-frame with a coupla swings? BTW-That was how I got my first concussion...

you remember how long it took him to get the shirts up and runnin right?

[Stoneman]

Nah, I ain't got shit done on it yet. I got the basic structure up & standing. Mostly 'cuz the unit is a POS. I'm pretty pissed about it. Long story short, my parents offered to buy this thing for Tovah. My job was to find a quality unit that'd last a lifetime. I did. They bought this one instead to save a few hundred beans...

They sent a WRONG part (very important part at that), and sent me some pieces that were split. Of course, it'll be 6-8 weeks before they can get the correct part and the replacement part to me. You wanna tell a 4 year old that she has to wait LONGER to use the thing? Nah, didn't think so. So I've gotta rig it up SAFELY so that we can use the wrong & shitty parts...

The split pieces have been sturdied up already. The wrong part's gonna be kinda a bitch 'cuz everything's predrilled. Being the wrong part, it's not drilled in the correct spots. So everything that attaches to it is gonna hafta be carefully fitted and the piece is gonna hafta be drilled & countersunk to accomidate the other parts...

It's really not that big a deal. But damn if that shit don't piss me off!

[MissTwisties]

That has to really suck... I hate it when I buy something and there is wrong/missing/broken parts. Specially when you are all excited to get something like that.

[Stoneman]

Fuckin' pisses me off, I tell ya. They KNOW they gotchya too...
