    Hooked up!  

    Did you have that installed?  That would have taken me 2 yrs to do judging how long it took me to put up the chincy thing I go my daughter.

    You may have shown them before, but I'd love to see a couple more pics of your patio/cooking area, with running water!

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Sod? Have you thought about mulch? I put up a playground for my son, and after the first weekend with his friends; children 10, Grass 0,
    I bought a truck load of extra fine ground mulch, similar to sawdust. It provided a very soft landing for falls, and no worries on the yard.
    Beautiful set up, you are a great dad.

    @YukonRon there is 8" of rubber mulch under all the fall zones for the playground. Should be pretty safe. Feels like a pillow walking around. The sod is just for all the dirt around the finished area.

    This is a bit like what we played on when I was little. I think they didn't like us much.

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

    What movie was it that had the nasty, rusty play set?  This is nicer than that one!
