So for Spring Break we decided to buy a playset for our kids and get it set up in the back yard. On The weekend before the break we got started. Friday night Jeff and I worked and got as much put together as we could in the garage. Jeff decided that he would keep his truck outside for the week while we worked on the playset.
Here is one of the 5 bags of screws, washers, nuts, ect.
Here are the pieces that still need to be assembled when the structure is taken outside.
Here is the spot we chose to put the playset, we rented a sod cutter, cut the sod and then hauled the sod away. It was a lot of work and took up most of our time on Saturday. 
This is what we woke up to on Sunday morning. We were frustrated, but knew that we had all week to work on it. Surely we would have a few good days. 
So this was later in the week. If I went out and took a picture today it would look much the same. Jeff is still having to park his truck outside, and I have to look out my window every day at the area where we are someday going to put our playset. My goal is to have it done by the first part of May when we go to the AAO meeting. We will see if we ever get a few nice days to let the ground thaw so that we can finish what we started. It was a very frustrating Spring break for me.

The weather this "spring" isn't much for outside activity huh. We went to Mt. Rushmore and couldn't even get out of our car because the weather kept getting worse and worse as we drove. I guess we'll have to go back this summer. Good luck with the play set I'm sure the kids will love it someday!
Very ambitious :) Good luck,
Guess what? its snowing in Pittsburgh right now. I really wish it would warm up! I had no idea your parents were leaving on a Mission. Tell them good luck and Hi from the Misners. Maybe well see you guys this summer.
I feel your pain, we spent the last part of our Spring Break in Poky and were so frustrated Sunday morning to wake up to an ice storm to drive home in! Wow. Your kids will love the play structure when you can finally get it done...maybe mid-August will be warm enough?
I totally feel your pain! We went to Utah for spring break and by the time we left, there was 4 feet of new snow on the ground. Not very spring break at all!
Good luck building the playset. We have had many a friend struggle through that process. We actually bought a floor model, so they assembled it for us for free (something about liability). Besides getting the break on it being a floor model, I was sold simply based off the fact we weren't going to have to assemble it ourselves!!
