This makes it extremely difficult to do anything other ...

Have you already gotten your materials? If not, if you rent the TYA version it comes with a show cd. The entire show is there with all the parts, it just has cuts to make it shorter. ------------------------------ Michelle Meyer Frederick MD ------------------------------

Are there less expensive options out there? I want the set to be a giant playground, but of course...I am on a limited budget. ...
