Trampoline: Before & After, or DIY ?

As I have mentioned before I have quite a to-do list for summer. One of the items is to repair and replace all things damaged from the tornado last Spring. Well here is a before of our fence and trampoline.
I'm glad they are smiling..what they didn't realize was it would take us 3 months to get that crumpled mess back to normal.


We hired someone to fix the fence, but I thought my big girl self could put the trampoline together. I have the summer off, I can be kinda handy, I've got two willing daughters to help, I CAN do this! So the trampoline arrived and oooohh, so many parts, yikes!

By the way, replacing this hideous carpet is on my to-do list also, so embarrassing!




In three days and 3 gallons of sweat and tears ( O.K. I'm exaggerating. It wasn't that bad) we finished. Despite ridiculous directions with awful pictures from the 70's to go with it, we figured it out and and the three of us felt like this when we were done.
I love it! 


So here is the after and my sweeties doing their happy dance...jump, jump, jump.





There it is, and the fence is all new and pretty. Yea, check that off my list. We are almost done with the bathroom re-do. Here is a sneak peak to what is going on.


I will have a show and tell bathroom re-do post on Friday!

  4. We can see in photos, trampoline can create many damages if people use it without safety enclosures. People can get best body workouts by jumping on trampoline.
