It only took a year

I just realized we've had our little house for a year! So for you, that means, you'll soon be getting an obnoxious post will all kinds of pictures of our house. Mostly just to keep a record for me but if you (anyone) still follows this blog you'll have to deal.

So what took a year you ask?

I've wanted a tree swing since we moved in.

DH geniusly put one up for me this weekend!!

Noah say WHEEEEEEE!

If you're asking what took so long, let me break it down for you. First have you ever hung a tree swing? Apparently to do it properly it's quite involved, requires months of research and numerous trips to the hardware store. The This Old House site was the winner.

You need:
A drill that can handle drilling through a tree branch - didn't have so we had to purchase
An Auger bit to drill through the tree branch - didn't have so we had to purchase
Bits to drill holes in the seat for the rope - didn't have so we had to purchase
2 eye bolts
washers and nuts
rope - with enough weight capacity
rope thimbles
wood for seat
2 carabiners - with enough weight capacity
a husband that took a knot class with the USCG
Cocktails to celebrate!
