Guilted Out of Gear, Built a Kids Playhouse Instead

[Clockworkmike]

As Ive mentioned a time or two, havent bought any real gear in, well, at least 12 years now I'd guess. Pretty much every time I start looking, i get told about something else we got to do here and this year was no exception. I got guilted into building the kids a proper playset and basically, the cost of a REALLY nice guitar or amp went out the window and this is it. Lucky me.

The Lemonade stand was something i just added a few hours ago and built. They better damn enjoy it is all i can say lol

Nice work! Heck, if I was in your neighborhood I would give it a spin...and slide!

Lol why thank you sir! And sure, give it a whirl! It held my big ass going down ( it was for "testing and product control purposes" )

the trampoline looks positioned JUST RIGHT for an aerial assault from the neighbor kids .............................you got a fun summer in store

I see they all ready have an attack ladder poised and ready ! dude --- you better get the cannons aimed that way and HOIST THE COLORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice work. Are those cannons to repel boarders?

Nice work Mike did it start as a kit ? Or did you take the kit concept and do it yourself ?

Thank you sir! It was largely a kit from Gorilla playsets but i took some liberty with add ons and features. Bought some more wood and built stuff like the Lemonade stand

 

[Clockworkmike]

Oh poop, they DO have cannons to add on! Well, this is a definite then lol

Dude you gotta figure out a way to hook the garden hoses up to the cannons for extra awesome water wars. You could have all kinds of games going on there.

Another reason I'm happy my kids are grown and out of the house. And it's good to be single.

They do have a water hose feed system too. Actually cheaper too, could get 2 for the price of the other one!

I was looking for some on a mounting system but so far only found portable ones like this BLASTONATOR BALLOON LAUNCHER
Unless you build it yourself ( which is really easy too!)

Im gonna have to take a second mortgage out before I'm done at this rate lmao

Fun times, nice work Mike. Gorilla makes some great equipment but spendy.
The lemonade stand is a awesome touch...
