It was sad to lose the old one, but its day was truly done. Iain hopes to finish the work this weekend, but because it is mostly pressure-treated wood, we won't paint it until next year.

Just A Swingin'
As promised, pictures of Iain's swing-building. In the first photo, you can see the disassembled bits of the old swing off to the side. It was originally built by my dad back in the 70's, but the supports had rotted to the point where Iain couldn't repair them anymore. He used the metal components to make the new one, which is sturdy as the rock of Gibraltar due to the usual Fullerton over-engineering (he calls it that, not me - I like it just fine!). It was sad to lose the old one, but its day was truly done. Iain hopes to finish the work this weekend, but because it is mostly pressure-treated wood, we won't paint it until next year.
