So when they said "...we're gonna show you how we do it...", they just meant "Show you a montage not really show you what we're doing". well then.

@myfixituplife 4 года назад

Yes, that is the overview video. Sorry about that. These two get into the weeds with more detail. There might be a third one we forgot to publish but I think we have that and it'll be up soon. -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z1sEzBmpibs.html -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hw6Mr0IKc6I.html

This was a heavy lift for us. Deepl.t emotional. The start of a business and life based in the opposite...

What song is that in the background? Can't find it by searching lyrics... that drummer is amazing!

@myfixituplife 5 лет назад

I forget who did this. It might be Jeff Devlin's brother's band. I don't know though.

@peterspizzirri 8 лет назад

Hi how would this work If I need to use 6x6 posts in the ground? Would it work the same?

@myfixituplife 8 лет назад

+peter spizzirri You'd have to change connection details Pete. We used the L-shaped corner post as structure, corner board, and connection point for the cladding. If you hurl 6-by up there, get it locked down fast to keep it straight. Larger timbers like 6-by is ideal under load, not upright in the air without other stuff connected to it. You can make it work well. Also, they'll be heavy. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Stephen Moss what's up?

@myfixituplife 8 лет назад

It depends Peter. Structurally, it's strong enough in my opinion. The difference would be in the trim details. You'd need 'nailers' to fasten the cladding to, similar to the nailers we used on our corner posts. Let me know if this helps. --Mark

No concerns using pressure treated wood?

@myfixituplife 7 лет назад

Not at all. PT is--and has always been--super safe. There's no science anywhere I'm aware of that says otherwise.

@erkme73 7 лет назад

interesting, I remember local parks having their pressure-treated playsets removed due to the arsenic in the material used for the pressure treating. I'll do a little bit research and post back here.

@erkme73 7 лет назад

this is from Web MD... Treated Wood Is a Risk for Kids Arsenic in pressure-treated wood -- used in play sets, decks, and picnic tables across the country -- poses an increased risk of cancer to kids who play and eat on wood surfaces, according to the EPA. Many outdoor wooden structures in the U.S. are made from arsenic-based treated wood. While the wood industry phased out production of this type of wood in 2003, existing structures are still a concern. so it looks like if the PT wood is definitely not arsenic based it should be ok. guess I'm showing my age.

@myfixituplife 7 лет назад

This was over 10-years ago, and still there is no science showing this is an issue. There is naturally occurring arsenic in the soil every day. The formulations for PT have been changed many, many times since this change you refer to.

@myfixituplife 7 лет назад

We all show it. Time passes for everybody. :)

@thestarbabie 11 лет назад

how long did it take you?

@walkingmonument 8 лет назад

2 min 25 seconds

@myfixituplife 5 месяцев назад

This thing was a beast. It's hard to say because we were also shooting video and photos. The battleship is more than a weekend project, I can tell you that.

@myfixituplife 5 месяцев назад

Yup.

@lakke2120 12 лет назад

what do you do when the kids outgrow this

@walkingmonument 8 лет назад

I'd never outgrow this

@Filip_Z 7 лет назад

Dave Lakke burn it down

@vanillabeanies4862 6 лет назад

Dave Lakke have more kids

@janetmonsivais9524 6 лет назад

I will rent my back yard for parties lol

@myfixituplife 5 месяцев назад

In the decade + since you posted this, the world changed, seismically for all of us. I sold it on Facebook MarketPlace last year. It's in 2.0 now.

@dakotasherman3813 5 лет назад

Only costs you about $2,000 in material, not counting time spent on it... lol

@myfixituplife 4 года назад

That's probably a decent guess. I'm not sure what the materials costs were. We did this one a few years ago.

@jamesdiver6291 7 лет назад

so l was right then

@myfixituplife 9 месяцев назад

I guess.

@jamesdiver2183 7 лет назад

This video provides zero technical information and is nothing more than 2 people posing

@myfixituplife 7 лет назад

More here James. Let me know if you need more tech than is here. Corner posts, joist, connection details, bridge span, slide layout, landscaping, and so on. - myfixituplife.com/DIY/real-wood-real-fun-playset-trailer/#sthash.6KFNhefD.dpbs
