Ever since Jennifer bought the house two years ago, there's been a trampoline in the backyard. Several friends have jumped on it, so there's been some use in the two years, but not enough to warrant keeping it in our backyard.
On a whim last weekend, Jennifer suggested that we try to take down the net around the top of the trampoline so it would not be so obtrusive. We got to work, and the net came down. Then, we detached the padding over the springs, which is weathered and not worth anything. The next thing we knew, we were finding the buttons to detach the metal parts. Within an hour, we had the entire trampoline taken apart and stored out of sight.
Our yard really is huge! Thanks to Keith's work over the last year of clearing out lots of weed trees and overgrown bushes, we can tell what we have to work with.
Right now, there is a brown spot where the sun was blocked by the trampoline, but that will grow green next season. Keith will also have an easier time cutting the grass since he doesn't have to work around the trampoline.
We've accomplished a major milestone for our house, and we're excited. On Monday morning, we even took a moment before we left for work to marvel at the empty space in the backyard!
