    Had a fun idea this past weekend. I have an old livestock barn behind my house and when we have friends over the party tends to migrate there. On one end of the barn are doors that slide open and the floor is about 3 feet off the ground, I guess to load trucks from. I wanted a swing out of that door. I strung cables around a beam above and very scientifically determined how wide to make the seat... This is what we ended up with.

    A few of my brother (structural engineer) evaluating the swing for integrity. He certified it for a 200lb. static load :p

    That is so freakin' cool! Very inspiring even! I love when people get crazy/off beat, but brilliant ideas and just run with them.

    More folks need swings on their homes..

    Or barns even,

    that is really a disaster waiting to happen. i mean especially if theres alcohol involved. but it looks like itll be a blast until it breaks and someone goes flying fifty feet

    Don't be such a party pooper, Death. :p That looks so fun. I think we should replace all conventional seats with swings.
