We're currently living in rented after escaping negative equity and selling our old home. It's a nice house but probably not our "Forever" house even if we were able to buy it.
It's going to take us a number of years to scrape together another deposit and stamp duty to buy somewhere again, plus due to the nature of the rental (old lady in care home - her children act as landlord to pay the fees, would be surprised if they didn't want to release the equity by selling when she passes) we're pretty much on borrowed time.
We're a fair old distance from the nearest park, and with three DC 6 and under, we'd absolutely love for the children to get some sort of garden play equipment, like a swing/slide/climbing frame thing. Probably wooden. Nothing too spectacularly huge, but we're thinking at least a slide and two swings and maybe some monkey bars. Like this. Something that would probably take us both the entire day to assemble with a bit of judicious swearing of course.
However DH has reservations because if we need to move (once, maybe twice) in the next few years, he thinks it's going to be a massive pain moving the thing.
What happens when you move house with these things? Do the removal people just deal with it? I'm betting even if they took it to bits they wouldn't reassemble it? Is it going to be an enormous hassle?
Thanks for any thoughts/anecdotes!!
