how clever! when your drunken husband gets home and needs to sleep it off on the porch, at least he can't fall off the swing. Though I do wonder how he'll get IN the swing in the first place.... maybe by crawling through the little hole in the chain....
See, that's why you need to take care when you read about "numerous code violations." What the previous buyers DIDN'T know when they installed the swing was that the neighbors had lodged a complaint about the porch being too long and an inspector was about to come down and insist they shorten it by 5 feet. Hence the swing with no leg room.

Ok, so I was visiting a friend's blog and followed his link here to your page, so i'm a first time visitor. Brilliant stuff you've got here and I almost laughed myself to tears when i got to this one. So funny! I"m definitely a new fan of your blog!

The swing is perfect for quadriplegics and double amputees.

It's a porch swing for squirrels and skunks.

I see no problem with it. Just crawl out the window and there you are, ensconced in the comfort of your porch swing.

oh goodness! Perhaps it was supposed to be a hammock - but they found a good deal on swings so picked one up instead?
