I wanted to share Dode's plans for the wonderful porch swing he built me (with help from the children) several years ago as a Mother's Day gift. This bench is the center point of so many activities we've had here at the house as well as my favorite place to sit while engaging in the age old game of, "Mom, watch this". It's a very heavy duty swing that can safely hold a large group of people. We've had several people ask us about the plans for the swing so Dode finally drew some up. Now, you can be as cool as us!
