A great team building exercise!
If you feel like testing the strength of your relationship, try building this hammock with your significant other. Each other's patience will be tested as you realize that the pre-drilled holes were drilled backwards, the instructions entirely skip important steps, and when you finally get to the end you realize that those instructions never told you when to put the fabric on. Take it apart and start over.
Four hours later, when you finally think you're done, you will look around your back yard only to notice four random pieces of wood that the instructions never mentioned. Good luck guessing where those go!
If you make it through this painful process, you will end up with a healthy relationship and a really nice hammock for your backyard. You will also never feel like moving from your current home because that would involve taking this devil contraption apart.
