Construction of the Sand Box - Part 1

We bought the sandbox a long time ago, but we never bought the sand because the bags were just so small, and we thought it was silly to have to buy so many bags. So Fredrik got some really, really good quality sand from his workmates. :) (A big thank-you to the Belgians.) So he piled his truck full of sand today after work and brought it home.

With the help of Leia and Nils (the neighbor's grandson), we dug down into the ground, to get rid of gravel and weeds, to have a good foundation. Fredrik had emptied his truck to bring home the sand, and in doing that - he didn't have his staple gun.. :( So we will have to wait until tomorrow to finish the project, so we can put some lining inside the box, to make sure the sand doesn't completely come out the slots between the wood pieces.
