Guilted Out of Gear, Built a Kids Playhouse Instead

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

Thank you sir! Yeah they are a lil pricey, especially with add ons but we had priced out building it outright vs a kit and with lumber prices now, somehow the kit came out substantially cheaper ( although the kits are quickly selling out of stock and newly stocked are rising in prices as well!) One thing i did like was their warranties and load ratings from Gorilla. A few others we priced were cheaper but had barely any warranty and very weak weight ratings. Big fear was getting a cheaper one and them out growing it lol

Haha yeah you guys got me scoping out some water cannons now. So i guess the parts continue! That trampoline behind us is a death trap with a million slices in the material now as well. I think they use it as a dog shelter sadly enough ( gotta love small subdivision living).

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.

I achieved that with a Y splitter for two hoses, way back when my kids were young, my daughter’s little house in the back had a fort for my sons on top, and a pair of tanks made of plywood and wagon wheels, oh the hell I caught when they had water wars in the winter time ..

As much as I love that you sacrificed new gear for your kid's sake, this makes me sad. I feel like I should donate something to your cause.... or at least make @eSGEe feel guilty enough to do so.
