Default Free swing set.

Does anybody want a swing set? It's about 8 years old, made of pressure treated wood in great shape. It has a little house with cover, climbing roap, slide. two swings and one hanging bar cost $1,300 new come and get it. I'll help take it apart and load it, it's all bolted together. You would need some sort of truck to take it home. First come is first served.

I thought about it but the property taxes on a place like that here in NY would be crazy.

Why don't you get it and sell it to one of your customers for 5k, not including the rustproofing and extended warranty. Might end up finding a whole new customer base to rip off.

Wouldn't be practical for Alex. He would need a ladder just to get on the swings.....

Maybe you can enlist the help of that customer you just ripped off to the tune of 34k for a used TRailblazer.......I am sure after a week of owning that truck , they just might want to take you to the woods for a burial....I mean a ride!!!!!!!!!!!

Believe it or not it will support an adult. I spent many afternoons swinging right beside my son Kyle when he was about 5.

No matter how hard F.J.B. gives it to Sammy, he's too drunk to feel anything.

At least you get A/C and cable. Hopefully, it won't be 1000 channels of Bravo and lifetime although, considering where you are going, it probably will.
