Please be aware. Do not hire christopher and sons movers to put up your swing set!
The only thing I can say is he showed up. He chaged 600.00 and I don't think he even read the directions, I think all he did was glance at the pictures. Here is the reasons you should not hire him.
1. He showed up late both day
2. He left his trash and cigarette butts all over my yard.
Here are the things that were done wrong.
1. All the boards in the club house were put up crooked.
2. He only put one screw where two or even three were required (safety issue)
3. He did not put the crossboard on the a frame of the swing beam (safety issue)
4. He only bolted the swing beam with two instead of four lag bolts (safety)
5. The tarp was screwed to the front when it was suppose to be wrapped around and screwed on the inside
6. Bottom step on the ladder was not screwed in (safety)
7. Wave slide only had two bolts not four (safety)
8. Picnic table put together wrong and with the wrong boards
9. Middle support beam for the playhouse was not put in (safety issue)
10. Climing rope net was tied to the top beam when eye hooks were to be screwed in to secure it (safety)
11. The rock wall boards were all put in staggered and slanted to the side, it was put in upside down and insted of using the brackets to attach to the main structure he put a long screw in sideways through the boards (safety)
12. The brackets for the ladder were put on the wrong sides and the top safety rail was not installed (we found it as part of the picnic table!)
13. The entire second tower was put together wrong, all four of the main beams were turned the wrong way, so he was unable to install the tube slide and bridge correctly.
14. Tube slide put together wrong so i was about half a foot off the ground (he said it was common and to put two by fours under it), and the slide was only bolted on the two top bolts, he missed the other four, when my husband went around the tube slide about ten bolts came out just with his touch!
15. The clatter bridge directions were not read at all he told us we needed to cut the chain to make it fit and he did not have the tools so he left it undone, however he spaced the boards so far apart the kids would have gotten their feet stck and tripped (safety issue)
We called to tell him we wanted our money back and why he told us he put it together to a t, and hung up on us.
It took us nine hours to go through and reassemble properly.
Please spread the word! Do not trust him with your childrens safety!
