FINALLY!!!

The swing set is finally done. We had it 95% done last Sunday morning but the last bit has been a pain in the a@#! Phew! Glad it's done and I'll post a pic soon, don't have time right now.
We got 10 yards of gravel delivered today so I'm really hoping we can finish the project by the end of the weekend. I may be over shooting since I have no idea how hard it will be to build the retaining wall. We'll get as much done as we can and we decided to move the gravel before the wall is in just to cut down on all the dirt and mud mess we've been dealing with. We'll put the weed fabric down first and just keep the gravel away from the outer edges as much as possible.
There are still several projects in the works back there - a plant that needs moved, a pile of bark that needs moved, two big piles of dirt that need hauled out of here and some used after we do the retaining wall, etc. Next weekend I hope to pressure wash everything that got so dirt (thanks Lisa and Bliss for offering to loan us one). I can't wait till it's all done and we can just enjoy. The girls are out there swinging right now, it's so cute. The swings just got put up about 5 minutes ago.
Gotta run, but I'll update more soon and post a pic of them that I took a few minutes ago.
