Swing in some Spring
March 4th, 2010

The sun came out and I couldn’t resist an outdoor project. We had a porch swing in our yard for the last two years that finally bit the dust. The frame, however, was still in good shape. Just some minor rusting. I knew that could be fixed. Off to Wal-Mart! Mia and I bought 2 cans of red spray paint for $.96 each, two bolts with eyes for $1.12 each and a swing for $23.97. Mia took a nap and I got to work. First I painted the frame, then drilled the holes, inserted the bolts and hung the swing. For $28.13 and a frame destined for the garbage, Mia has her first swing set (sort of). She likes to swing and laughed a lot. This swing is rated up to 48 months (4 years) so I think our dollar will go pretty far.
