Way off topic - I've been busy

Sir Rodney:
Lately, I've been a little preoccupied building a little something for my kids...   ;)

I'm not quite done yet as the rope bridge and tornado slide still need mounting.

Sir Edward:

Very cool! Though wouldn't it be better with a trebuchet too? :)

Sir Wolf:
where r the turrets? the tunnels? the portcalis? hehehe

Sir Brian:
And the nerf ballista?  :)

Sir Rodney:
Please excuse the WAY off topic post; I'm just so excited.   ;)

I love bargain hunting and this is my best purchase yet.  We purchased the original platform and equipment (left most) on Craig's List a while ago for $200 ("get it out of my yard, I'm trying to sell my house").  We received the new platform / slide / monkey bars (right) from a friend for $0 this summer ("get it out of my yard, my kids are grown").  Over the last year or so I've sunk another $200 in new hardware.  For a total investment of $400, my kids have a $4,000 play set!   :)

My thoughts exactly.  I've built a working scale model, but I see no way to make it "kid safe".  :(

The two tall posts (right) will anchor the turrets (currently unfinished).  The portcullis / gatehouse will be located next to the tornado slide (currently unfinished).  The tunnel idea was given up in favor of the swinging bridge (middle).

Great idea.  There has to be something like that commercially available!
