Well, it finally came!!! My porch swing showed up yesterday. As soon as I saw that FedEx truck pull up, I opened the door and waited with the hugest smile on my face. He could tell I was pretty excited and kinda chuckled. I was a little embarrassed but was too excited to care. I didn't want to wait for The Hubs so I got to work and assembled it. Install was a bit tricky. We don't have a ladder so I took our kitchen chair to the porch and put a stool on top of the chair. Then I was able to reach the hooks. I was so ready to use it. I hung the swing from the chains and took a step back. . . This is what I saw. . .
Please excuse the dead vine. I need to "get it gone."
With my 4'11" frame, the seat of the swing comes up to my chest. I'll be buying more chain today so that I can actually use my birthday present. With a few fabulous pillows, it will be ready for those cool Winter nights we have ahead of us here in AZ.
Love the swing!!! That is too funny that it hangs high. Just have a running start and wear a helmet-
