I still remember putting together a round trampoline in ‘03-04 on Christmas Eve. Very cold that week for SW Louisiana. Started before dusk with the wife occupying the 3 and 4 year olds. It wasn’t so bad, but the wife insisted on those trampoline safety poles/net, that kept the kiddos from flying off. That shit was a PITA, as dusk changed to dark and got even colder. I went to my golf bag and grabbed some wet weather gloves (pair), in order to still be able to hold nuts/bolts. Finished around midnight! When Hurricane Rita came through LC in 2005, it picked up my trampoline and crushed it into a ball about a 1/3 of the original size, as well as banging it on the house multiple times. It was anchored to the ground in four places, as well as the net opening tied off to some landscaping timbers. The damndest thing was I had a 12 x 20 workshop/shed, with a loft section, full of stuff, and just resting on concrete corners and cinder blocks less than 30’ away. The shed didn’t budge an inch, nor were one of the three windows broken! Hook’em!!!
