We Bought A...Costco Shed

Instead of building a custom shed, we bought this one on Costco.com for $1500 and painted it.  It makes me happy every time I walk into the garden. 

We Bought A...Custom Pirate Ship

 I had known what I wanted to do with this space since putting the sidewalk in, but I needed to decide if it would be a basic play set (like the ones you buy at Costco or Lifetime), or a custom one.  It took 3 years for us to decide!

I strategically showed my husband different photos of playsets and pirate ships I'd found on Pinterest each night before bed. When he finally said, "I know what we need to do with that space, build an american-ninja-warrior-pirate-playset!", I let him think it was his idea.  

The next day I called our favorite contractor, who has a great imagination and never says no to whatever project we think up.  Between him and my husband, the plans were soon in place and construction began!

Someday I'll get the details put on here of measurements, materials, costs, etc..  For now, I just have the photos.  I think it's amazing and the kids LOVE it!!
