How many guys does it take to screw in a light bulb?

...not nearly as many as it takes to carry a solid wood swing set.
We bought kolby a swing set for his birthday. Our friends built it with their own two hands but are moving and needed to sell it. The only problem was that it was huge and heavy.
That's when we called out for some muscles.
Seriously these pics make me giggle. I'm pretty sure i couldn't handle all the manly grunting and power-tool talk for too long but man what great guys! I can't believe they gave up their Saturday to help!
Step1: Try to lift set through the back gate
Step 2: Realize it won't fit
Step 3: divide and conquer by lifting it over the front and neighbor's fence Step 4: Raise your arms and grunt
Step 5: level it out...and maybe talk about tools and stuff
Step 6: Push...arrrr arrr arrr
Step 7: call in the real help
(ha ha actually not pictured is Daniel who basically did EVERYTHING)
Step 8: Enjoy sending my kiddos in the backyard:)
