Take the teeny, tiny trampoline I got for my girls for Christmas this year, for example. It came in a small, flat box, it's only about 3.5 feet wide, max, and it didn't even have springs! Piece of cake, right? Hell, I could set that up myself. Or not.
First of all, the instructions were merely a series of unclear pictures that would put IKEA to shame. But I pressed forward. I was going to set the trampoline up before I made dinner! It would take me 30 minutes! HAHA.
I managed to get the curvy bars into the netting slats in a way that looked kind of sort of correct. But I wasn't strong enough to snap the curves together, stretching the netting out to make a circle.
I had my husband do it. He took one look and came outside with me. He knew I would need reinforcements. Of course, he also had trouble making it a circle.
When we finally did do it, we realized that we had 18 slats one side, and 12 slats on the other. Also we'd put the thing in backward. So, we did it again. I, of course, assumed we'd taken care of the inequality thing. We had not. This is important later. So, wonderful, finally we have our circle.
I mean, almost.
Anyway, we got that sucker flattened right out, and started screwing in the sides. We did all of them. Wrong.
The two holes are supposed to line up. Oops. We unscrewed them. You can see, since we are using the stonework of the patio to stretch this thing out each time (which isn't easy), the hinges are already battered. We continue and do all the screws correctly.
Remember that unequal slats thing?
Yup, we have to undo the whole thing again. By now we've "set this up" like four times.
Finally we are almost done! We just have to rescrew the very last screw. Only...the holes in the hinge no longer line up. No, seriously. So what does any sane person who's been setting up a teeny, tiny trampoline for more than an hour do?
That's right. You take a hammer to that sucker. Of course. What could possibly go wrong?
But somehow it worked, even though I protested the whole time. (I'm not big on hitting things with hammers).
Toward the end, he's like, how did that happen?
I'm like, I don't know. Maybe from pounding the thing into the ground with a hammer? Just throwing out ideas, though.
Still, after about 2 hours of work, we made this.
And it was worth it.
I am not sure that this will update your comments since it is from a few months ago, but I found your blog from Google search on an image. Someone on Facebook is using your child's (only one of them) pictures as a photo album of her imaginary child. She has this one on the trampoline, one with her uncle, one from last Christmas of the basketball goal, etc. I am not sure if it is important but it certainly seems creepy to me.
ReplyDeleteHi, Thank you.

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I?d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don?t mind. Natually I?ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
