Yes, it's true, we actually ordered the Skyfort II from Sam's Club, and it arrived a couple of weeks ago. At least our toddler is not quite old enough to know it's taking us so long to actually get started. What can I say, we're busy. We've got a garden that needs attention, and two kids that need even more attention.
We got all of the wood sprayed/rolled, coated with Thompson's Water Sealer. That took a long time. It took even longer to dry, but in the long run, it will make the set last longer and look better. It's worth the effort, I know how they girls will love it.
We were out of town for the weekend, so nothing's been done for a while. Last night I needed a break from my beautiful, but screaming children, so I volunteered to go out and sort the wood pieces. They're all numbered with alphanumeric codes, which I checked the manual for and sorted into steps. It took a little while to make my reference sheet and sort the piles, but I know it will be much less frustrating once we start building.
In addition to the separate assemblies listed at the start of the directions, there are a few additional pieces you can pre-assemble from the general instructions, so I plan on working on those first.
I will update again later when I get time to actually work on it. You know how I love assembling things, that's why I've got a soft spot for IKEA furniture.
I have photos, I'll share those too when I get them off of my phone.
