Schaich Petey: Happy Early Birthday To...ME!!!

First of all Happy MLK Day to all. Hopefully everyone enjoyed their day off as I much as I have and for those of you that had to work, I'm sorry. As you may know by now Schaich Petey turns the BIG 28 on Wednesday and for my birthday all I really wanted was a basketball hoop to put outside in my driveway. I just joined a basketball team in Augusta where I'm a player/coach and I really wanted a hoop so that I could practice whenever I wanted to. So with the help of the Rents (Thanks Mom and Dad) I was able to get this hoop as an early birthday present. It came via UPS on Friday and after about a day and half of looking at the box I decided to start the grueling task of putting it together. It took me about 6 hours overall but it was well worth the pain and sweat that was endured. This is my first basketball hoop that I've ever put together all by myself (MPP did help a bit haha) and I think I did a pretty good job. I did have some parts left over but it wouldn't be a good assembly if you didn't have parts left over right? Check out the pics below as I took the pieces out of the box to completion and also check out the form on my jumpers as I give the hoop its first test run:
