Not too long ago, I read in a magazine that you could mend "netting" somethings with dental floss. Well this last week dear children were on the trampoline.
The final culprits will remain nameless, but they managed to continue to do what their dad told them not to do...? Imagine that?
They like to lean into the netting around the trampoline and let it support them.
Well, they did it and it began to tear from the nylon trim up above.
Then another pain in the potootie wasn't satisfied with leaning and just pulled.
ERRRR.
Once I calmed down and was ready to move on, I remembered the article.
It worked. I stitched the netting back to the nylon with dental floss. White on black, not so attractive. BUT and a big BUT this is, it is cheaper than a new net!! It took 3 days, but it is done. 3 days cause I don't like standing on a hot metal ladder trying to show a blunt needle through nylon while sweating. So I would do a bit and get HOT and my hands would hurt and I would take a break.
It works out though. Cause the olders feel bad for my suffering. They are very grateful their trampoline is open for business now.
The question is will they listen and obey their dad now?
