Play Castle with Aqua-duct System

This project was around 2 years in the making after the initial idea, which consisted of adding a "small" water play area that would utilize a manual pump and some chutes to carry the water. It turned into a rather elaborate play structure that appeared to never get done. Luckily the weather played along and we were able to finish by late Fall and still run water through it. There is around 20 yds of black dirt and 2-3 tons of medium size boulders. The main structure sits on treated 4 x 4 posts and 4 x 6 joists. The decking and chutes were all made from cedar.
