Dirty Jobs

Our trampoline of 6 years had seen better days.

It was time for a new one. And since we were going through the effort of putting a new trampoline together, we (Paul) decided to make the hole extra rain resistant. You see, the problem with having a Jerry-rigged in ground trampoline is that when it rains, the earth around the trampoline gets washed under, thus creating large holes around the tramps frame.

The workers:


(What a mess!!!)

Andrew and Barik headed outside right after school with their pick ax and shovels to work on this hole (only to have it covered a couple days later).



At the end of 6 days (filled with lots of dirty clothes and sore muscles), the masterpiece was complete and enjoyed by all!

Paul decided to turn one of the rain-made holes into a secret entrance to the "Underworld". The boys LOVE their hide-a-way!
