Do It Better

For this project me and two others decided to build a rope swing. The first thing we had to do was find a way spot to put the swing. We finally found a spot in my backyard on a tree that was about twenty feet up. We then put a rope up and around the tree. We did this by tying the end of the rope to a water bottle and throwing it over the tree branch. We tested out to make sure that the tree had enough strength to hold us up .

We got a piece of wood and sawed it to be the right length and then drilled holes in each of the four corners. Then we put both of the ropes through each of the holes and measured the height before we tied the knots. After we got the height right we dug down in the dirt to create a little path of where the swing was and then mounded up the dirt so we could start the swing.
