BUSY weekend

When you look at a project like this that you start, it's hard to see the end result. (And sometimes it seems too far away to really picture.) But a couple of weeks ago we got our hole dug for our trampoline. We even dug it a bit more in the center so that the chances of bottoming out are pretty much out of the question. And it will help with water drainage.

Putting the trampoline together was the easy part. Even building up the metal sheets retaining wall wasn't as bad as I thought. It was the back fill that was killer!

This weekend we finally got it up and able to be jumped on! You can tell the kids are loving it! And yes...more projects....the fence is going in. We got all the posts set. So next week we can start putting the fence up.


More and more projects. Guess that's part of having a home. More on this next project to come!...Don't you just love the anticipation...?

I love the trampoline! So much fun. Your house is going to be the place all the kids come to play. That's good though (most of the time). Projects are absolutely the result of having a house. We never had a mile long list of projects until we bought a house.

Yea for the tramp! We love ours. The metal surround sounds like a great idea!
