Granpa Jim Jim has been busy.

Granpa Jim Jim (oh no another nickname!) is almost done wilh what Chase calls "The Park".

I used septic tank drain line as a boarder to keep the red mulch in place.
The "fort" has bongo drums and a couple of spinning wheels inside.

The toughest part was putting the shade sails up by myself.
One is 18'x24' and two are 16'x16'x16'.

Two of the poles are 12.5' high and two are about 9' and one 7'.

Anyway Chase(http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ighlight=chase) loves it and that makes it worth the effort.

What a lucky little guy! Great work on this, should be lots of photo ops coming up. I trust that the "sails" are belayed with quick-release knots in case of wind.

You built him a mansion! The sails were a great idea too! He's going to love it!!!

[Morkel Erasmus]

Looks great! Do you pre-assemble and ship overseas?

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very cool. You can call it the Hooptie Jeux!! (jeux is french for games...)

[Christopher Miller]

Looks great, James! I'm sure he'll have a blast with it.

[Susan Candelario]

WOW! Makes me want to play.

[Dave Mills]

Nice job James! The shade is an added touch!!

[Blake Shadle]

Let the record show that this sort of effort only seems to be made for grandchildren lol :P

Thanks for putting this together, Dad. He loves it.

At least I tried to help you put up the sails... :D

[Julie Kenward]

Is there no limit to your talent and imagination? I'd get a patent for that and but quick!

[Melissa Groo]

Oh James that is phenomenal!What a lucky boy he is to have a granddad like you! That park is outta sight!
