We've had lots of "digging dates" and "digging family home evenings" in the past couple of months. But mostly, Mike has been outside by himself, digging a very large, very deep hole in our backyard. We want our trampoline buried in the ground, and rather than rent a bobcat to get the job done in an afternoon like normal people, Mike decided to dig it himself with a shovel. Slowly, but surely, he made progress, and finally last weekend, we got the base secured in the ground. You might think he's crazy for doing it this way. But, actually, as he explains in his new blog, it makes a lot of sense. And really, I'm so proud of him for making it happen.
Also, why we keep our thermostat set to 84 in the summer.

Love what your husband has shared;) I totally agree;) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea and your husbands post was great!
ReplyDeleteI think it makes perfect sense and as for the thermostat - I always keep ours warmer than what most people would like but here in Illinois, where we have horribly cold, long winters, I can't really understand those who want it freezing cold inside during the summer, when we've waited so long for beautiful hot weather, so I like a more comfortably warm temperature inside (not so drastic from what it is outside). : )
ReplyDeleteMy husband wants to dig his own hole too. Everyone tells him he's crazy. I'm going to show him this post!
ReplyDeleteI love the post about digging the whole, I want to read that book now. And now I also know why you dread the AZ summers so much:)
ReplyDeleteThat is the only way I would have a trampoline in my yard (otherwise they are just too unsightly - fun, but ugly).
