The jungle gym is still there, but it wasn't a regular one, I just called it that for lack of a better word. It was this play thing that had 4 sides, basically posts with ladder rungs acting as the "walls". Then there was a slide that came out one side and a some monkey bars going out the other side with swings hanging from it. In the "box" part of it I used to place wood planks across the rungs to make a make-shif second floor. Then I would throw a tarp over the top and make a tent of sorts.
The attic isn't too bad. It gets hot in the summer because I live in an old house with virtually no insulation. It's a good sized room though, and like I said, its a large attic, practically a second floor above the garage.
