    I have a 48" commercial walk behind mower so building a swing set 4-6 feet off the ground doesn't really make sense. And i did build this, for a swing, which is off the ground and i can mow under. I wasn't looking to make a tree house

    Emptied and scrubbed clean the Koi pond then installed a proper filtration system. Bought the house a few months ago. The previous owner never finished the project. It was basically a hole of scummy water.

    Pond Looks great! Gotta say though, for some reason it looks like you're photoshopped in to this picture.

    Well these guys came with the pond. If they get snatched then I'll just throw in some $3 gold fish.

    It's tight. I cut the cable, put turnbuckle between the 2 pieces and tightened it down.i suppose i could put a few nails in the tree to keep it from sliding but i really don't see that happening

    I bought a Porter Cable 8 tool set last month, as it was on sale. Circular saw, jig saw, sawzall, oscillating tool, angle grinder, drill, impact gun...and...flashlight. Came with 2 20V lithium batteries too. I've been very pleased with them, my Craftsman was crap.
