Shut Down
Shut down by the rain tonight. Working on leveling and squaring the swing beam, so the kids might get some use out of it sooner rather than later. Decided to put the anchors into the ground too, but that took longer than expected and now it’s starting to storm. This will never get done. Forever […]
