If anyone has an hour or so to spare on Saturday morning, I could use a pair of hands to help me dismantle a kids swing set in Oakville.

I bought it for my kids and will be renting a cube van to pick it up with around 10 am Saturday morning. I just need the help to take it apart. I will unload it in Whitby and get a neighbor to help me reconstruct it.

Thanks for looking.

How big is the swing? Could we fit it in my trailer? Its an 8' x 4' snowbear from Home Depot. It would save you having to rent the truck.

Are you sure you want to volunteer a 200+ km round trip Mike? I don't mind renting a van for the trip.

The seller pulled the add, so I can't link to it to show the picture. But if you are sure, I think it will fit OK on a 4X8 trailer with enought straps. The slide might be a bit longer than 8 feet as well as some of the beams, but they shouldn't overhang too much.

Thanks for the offer. I'll PM you both with the details.

Thanks very much for the offers guys. But Oakville is a long way from Stouffville and Aurora. That would be a long trip to simply take out a few lag bolts and load some lumber onto a trailer. But I do appreciate the offer. 3 people will be plenty to get the set down in 30 min or less.

Anyway, here is the address for you guys:

1423 Bayberry Place:

BTW, make sure you let me know how you take your coffee. And, if we have time, I will treat you to a good greasy breakfast at a local greasy spoon.

Hi Nigel,

I'm doing some training this weekend in Mississauga. I'm free in afternoon time though. What time are you thinking to do this?
If you still need additional help you can count on me too, just drop me a PM

Well give me a shout Nigel if you happen to forget something (i.e. a tool) while you're there in the morning, then I can pick it up in the evening when I go there and will at least have been able to help somehow ;)
