    From what my wife tells me, they're like David Hasslehoff, they're huge in Europe. We built a huge one for my daughter about 3 years ago, and she loves it.

    We have several pending orders from preschools that are wanting to buy 2-4 of them as they will be having kids playing outside a lot more now. We have a woman picking one up today that owns several preschools. This is a trial run with her kids at home to see how they like it, then they will hopefully buy several more.

    Warner sends (or did send) his kid to a nature-based daycare in New Ipswich, I wonder if they use anything like this.

    Thanks Molly! That was Jen's doing. We've done a few others like that as well. We stained one out of all new lumber, and I loved how it looked. I told Jen the exact type of neighborhood it was going to, and when we delivered it, I was 100% right. All 3500-4KSF spec homes in Londonderry.

    We just distressed a 100% lumber one with a torch, and it looks great. I did a few samples, and I really like the brown stain over the burnt look. I think I am going to make one like that for the next I make myself.

    Those types of schools look like fun!

    Do you include the accessories? Some wood cookies? I think I have a bunch of slotted spoons you can have, hoarded many years ago for no reason.

    Yes, we include the accessories. Well, for now at least. I've been telling Jen that accessorizing like she is wont be sustainable as things get busier. I could definitely use some slotted spoons. I just ordered 50 from an online restaurant supply house, but we will go through them fast!

    I was just looking at their Facebook page. Looks like a great place!

    Yeah the kids seem to like it. The people that run it are quite “frugal”. Might be worth a sales pitch. I think the husband would see your pic and build it himself.

    Some rain overnight but not a lot. Guess south of us had some storms but I never heard any thunder at all. One more time their prediction of big bad storms petered out.

    Probably cruel illegal and against some county ordinance to have kids out here for more than x minutes. People think they will die or something, like people never played outside and don't do it?
