Dean, worry. My sister and brother in-law got sued because the neighbor broke his wrist in their back yard when he slipped playing basketball. Their "friends" said it is normal to do, that is what insurance is for.

well, to be clear, it's going at my ex wife's house.

Although, we are not offically divorced yet, so I'm sure I'd still be liable.

I've dated a few tramps that were good...and a few that I'd like to forget.




BTW...I have a trampoline in my back yard too.
I even used my dozer and dug a hole to make the trampoline level with the ground. (it's f-ing hard to dig a good round hole with vertical walls using a dozer!). 2 problems then occured...
1. The kids weren't NEAR as careful, but falling to the ground hurts just the same.
2. The hole fills with water when it rains...I filled the hole.

I've seen them at ground level and wondered about the water dealio-

Doing the same. Last minute thing combining big present for the kids and 15 year anniversary for us. Looked into Florida mainly because I grew up there and Disney World is the one I know, but the prices (hotels, flights etc) were f-ing ridiculous. Flights to CA from Denver are a lot cheaper, so we went with that. Looking forward to surprising the kids on Christmas day. When are you looking at going Cyg?

I have a dozer and a tractor...no backhoe.


A doctor friend of mine had it done professional. They concreted the hole and put a sump-pump in it. It's plumbed to pump the water out about 25 feet from the trampoline.

He has a little more money than me though..

I know what huck is alluding to though. Ive had to dig graves to bury horses with only a front end loader on a tractor, and its a pain inna ass, but you can do it. A hole with a dozer can be done, just wont be too pretty when youre done.

Exactly...If I had a backhoe, it would have been done right and looked better. Like I said Dean, it's very hard to dig a round hole with vertical walls with a bull dozer.


Here is my dozer...
