Let's just say I've lived on Craiglist lately trying to find a darn trampoline for the kids, but apparently, so has everyone else and the 5 seconds I haven't been looking (like 2:00- 3:00 in the afternoon)- everyone has decided to post then, thanks people.
I guess it all worked out though...
I/we've been helping our friend & neighbor clean, pack and move for the past month & a 1/2, and yesterday when it came time to take her trampoline apart and move it to the new house- her oldest son said there were a few parts that needed to be welded together and he thought they should get rid of it. Lisa said we could have it if we wanted to have the 2 parts welded together. After asking 100 times, "Are you sure? It's been fine, the kids have been jumping on it forever." She said, "No, go ahead."
So we carried it home in pieces and put it back together to see what parts they were talking about and if it would still work. We finally got the old one down and the new one up, had the kids test it out and agreed it was fine. The base and 100 springs are supporting the other parts without any movement- so we felt good about letting them play on it. (Trust me, if we didn't think it was ok, it wouldn't be in our back yard!) If we can find a portable welder person, that would be cool to have them fix the 2 pieces- but I think we might be ok!
Thanks Lisa! (all but 1 of her kids are teenagers or in college, so it wasn't being used like it is at my house!)
