I finished the swing set! Only took me 2.5 times longer than the directions said it would. The roof was a mother-fucker. Now I know why all the other ones I see have a canvas tent roof. 
It feels good because I worry about stuff going wrong around the house...but if I can figure this out, I think I can do fix-it stuff around the house.
I can't wait to pick up Teslet!! I feel like I've just put the Christmas gifts out Christmas Eve. But even better...Teslet knew I was building it this weekend....I hope he talked ex-shat's ear off about it! 
Lie-lie approves of it as well...think she'll be using underneath the rock wall like a dog house.

Awesome job! Teslet may never want to come back in the house
I've built one of those before though and you should be very proud of your work.
