We bought a trampoline last week.  We thought we'd put it together and have some fun.

Little did we know we'd run into a few issues.

First, it was missing an entire set of screws.  Since we ordered the trampoline online, we were delighted to learn we'd have to wait 5 to 6 business days to get what we needed.

Today they finally arrived, so we spent the first few hours assembling the ring and legs.  We stuck on all the springs and spread out the mat.  Then we put the padding around the outside.  (At this point we were about 90 minutes in.)

Then we built the net to go around the outside.  We attached those, too.  Then we had to run a rope through the bottom to connect all the padding and netting together.  We climbed in, around and under the trampoline to get it done.

Hopefully our 4 hours to build it will give our son hundreds of hours of tiresome bouncing!
