Saga of the Sailing Trampoline, Part 2
Having put on my farmer clothing, we went to town to run errands. On the way out, we stopped at the end of the pasture fence to see what the total damage was.
And, it was. In pieces. All over the pasture.
Coming back from town, DH pulled over at the end of the fence, I jumped out of the old PT Cruiser and opened the hatch. Grabbed out two walmart bags...and jumped the ditch to the fence. Used the Walmart Bags to pull and tie the barbed wire strands far enough apart that I could wiggle through.
Stood and looked at the sailing trampoline. Moved it around a bit and kicked at it with my farmer booted foot.
Sighed.
Started picking up pieces, beginning with the jumping fabricky part. NO HOLES !! Whoo HOOOOO. Get it disentangled. Look at the metal legs etc......they are there, but not all of them...
Throw what is there over the fence, fold up the fabric, throw it over the fence, crawl back through the fence, throw the stuff in the back of the pt cruiser, dh drives to the driveway...
I go back through the fence, cut the walmart bags free and start looking for springs in the path of travel. Find seven leg parts and twenty springs in the 600 yard trek across the pasture.
I think we can salvage it, but it won't be till spring now LOL.
