What can I do over the summer at home by myself?

Putting in an inexpensive backyard...?

DJ

We just bought a house and need to put in the backyard, it's going to take a lot of money and work. We would like to get the kids swing set and trampoline up as soon as possible but we don't have the money to get the yard put in right now. Does anyone know what we can do to make our yard look nice, be kid friendly, and very inexpensive? Thanks!
There are no sprinklers, or any water for that fact, in the backyard and it needs grass and a patio as well.
This is a newer home with nothing but dirt, the ground has never been touched.

Answer
When I moved in this last house, I simply knocked on doors and asked for a start. There were so many succulents and tropicals that could easily be started. I watched for sales and mark downs and brought them back to life. At least now you have the internet to research how to start what plants. Do some interesting things. I met a lady before I moved and she had gotten an apple tree and then grafted different apples on different branches. You can do that with many other things. I was so broke when I moved in I used to go down the side walks and pull the strings of carpet grass and take them home and plant them. Don't laugh...I had a good yard within a year and it didn't cost me anything. The other thing you need is to figure out how to get water to the back yard. I didn't have water in the front so I poked a hole through my house and ran pipe over to the front with a shut off for water stealers or cold weather. I ended up with a washing shed...I guess they call them here...but an small place for the washer and places to hang clothes to dry in the fresh air but sheltered. I also found a small plant with white flowers that looked like an expensive purple one but was wild. I have a bed of them across the back fence and they are indigenous so they simple bloom and bloom and bloom. I also drove around and still do looking in the heaps of plant people put out to be picked up. I've gotten all sorts of plants and certainly a lot of banana trees and lots of ivy and yuccas. People laughed at me because I didn't use a color scheme. Actually I did but they didn't get it at first. It's myriads of color but in a way so that each color area always has something blooming and one color compliments the next and I bet I have one of everything that will grow here.

Replacing Safety Net for a trampoline?

C M

I was trying to think of a material or design that would act as a trampoline safety net, as my safety net has tears and the parts that keep it on are mostly broken, would it seem like a good idea to use latexed canvas to build a big inflatable ring with a passage to get out?

Answer
I would use a nylon rope and tie them like a fishing net. You can probably get the proper tying method from a fishing industry web site.

inflatable trampolene?

linda d

I have one of those outdoor jumpolene's...it's a inflatable trampoline. How can i prevent it for getting dirty and rained on when it's outside??? I can't blow it down all the time...that would be a pain...
its pretty big...what can i cover it with and where would you buy it?

Answer
We have one of those. The castle. We bought 2 tarpaulins, 1 just a little bit bigger than the jumpolene 10'x10' to put under it and the other 16'x 20' to cover. We use camping stakes to keep it secure. Hope this helps.

Water Trampoline?

Elime22

Can you actually jump on them like a normal trampoline or are they just like a platform to sit on? How much is a decent price? Do you have one?--If you could go back, would you get one or not?

Answer
you can jump, but since its on water when it starts moving its kind of hard to keep your balance
its also hard to get back on mine when your in the water but its not impossible
i paid 350 for mine but the ones where you can get add ons can go past a thousand dollars
yes i do have one and if i could go back i probably would not buy another one but instead just use the money for jet ski gas

you could get one and if it doesn't work out you could always try to take it back for a refund

Kaleigh

Summer party.No pool.VERY competitive kids coming.Games MUST involve getting wet or soaked.Water balloons good? need games that will be intense and will have people talking about the party the whole week.I have no pool but a trampoline and a volleyball net.
PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ HELP! I LOVE U IF U CAN HELP

Answer
Get your trampoline wet and jump aroud YOU JUMP SUPER HIGH . then u can play some volley ball i think you should rent a dunk tank from a web sight or a HUGE slippin slide those are super fun. Then got lots of water guns and games that involve wet from target or something. I have this thing where you put a water ballon in the ball ting pass it around then all of a sudden it pops and who ever has it gets splashed. Maybe with the Water guns you can get chairs and garbage cans and tjhings like that to hide behind then you can get water ballons and have a water gun and balloon war.

Water Trampoline?

Elime22

I was looking for a water trampoline to put on a lake and had a few questions. What is a decent price for a good quality one? Can you actually jump on them like a normal trampoline or are they just there to lounge on? Where is a good place to purchase one? Thanks.

Answer
I had a pretty good one. The jump surface was 14 feet so same size as most ground trampolines. Unfortunatly the tube absorbs most of the energy. Its fun and yes you can bounce, but kids seem to have more fun swimming under it. Its high enough off of water that if somebody is on top they likely will not hit people under. I've even broke all the rules and even towed it once. If I hadn't bought, and could do it again, I wouldn't.

Answer
Choosing a water trampoline or water bouncer for summer fun can be confusing as there are a lot of options out there. Choosing the perfect fit for you and your family is all about being informed on the different types of water trampolines, water bouncers and various accessories. This guide will help you find the right product for you and your needs.

Water Bouncers

Water bouncers are often mistaken for their more expensive counterpart, water trampolines. The jumping surface of a water bouncer is connected directly to the floatation part of the bouncer instead of being connected by springs thus giving it a smaller bounce. They are typically smaller than water trampolines making them easier to store and easier to set up because they require no assembly.

Connection

* Jumping surface is connected to the floatation tube, typically by interlocking nylon webbing.
* Jumping service of bouncers is NOT connected by springs.

Assembly

* Does not require assembly, only inflation.
* Inflate and anchor before enjoying.
* Anchor should be a simple D-ring anchor or any weight over 20 pounds should suffice.
* Anchor in over six feet of water to avoid injuries.

Pricing

* Bouncers usually range in size from 10 to 15 feet in diameter.
* Bouncers are generally less expensive than water trampolines and are typically under $1,000.

Water Trampolines

Inflatable water trampolines differ from water bouncers due to the fact that they can hold heavier weight loads and tend to allow to higher jumps. The added support and higher jumps are a result of the framed jump surface that is connected by springs to a frame, which is then connected to the inflation tube.

Connection

* Jumping surface of a water trampoline is connected to the frame by springs.
* Provides significantly greater weight support and higher jumping heights.

Assembly

* Some assembly required.
* Frame and jumping surface must be assembled and attached to the floatation tube once inflated.
* Anchor needs to be at least 60 pounds and should be anchored in a place without water currents.

Pricing

* It is easy to find water trampolines priced under $1,000 but they can be over $1,000 also.
* Can be as large as 25â² in diameter and as small as 11â² in diameter.
* Typically are more expensive than water bouncers.

Styles

* Rectangular trampolines are offered that range in sizes and can be up to 25 feet in length.
* Rectangular trampolines tend to be more expensive and hold tension better because of their shape.
* Circular trampolines tend to be less expensive and do not hold tension as well but they do have a sweet spot in the middle of the mat because of the tension distribution.

Safety

Safety is one of the main concerns of many people who purchase water trampolines. Children under 6 years old should not be allowed on water trampolines and children over 6 should be supervised by an adult. Life vests should be worn at all times while enjoying your water trampoline. Also, be sure to read all directions carefully and set up your water trampoline and accessories accordingly to ensure maximum safety and fun!

im going on the new royal caribbean ship, freedom of the seas?

<3

we are doing the western caribbean itinerary (labadee,grand caymond,jamaica,cozemel, and somewhere eles i forgot)
has anyone been on the ship? is it nice? big? did you like it? did you do the surf thing?

what about the itinerary? which was your favorite island? excurtions?
thanks a bunch =]

Answer
I was on this cruise at the end of June, 2007. You can read my review if you like (it is about 13 type written pages long) ...

http://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=30442

I also was on the western itinerary. This was my second time on this itinerary. I did the same itinerary on the Navigator of the Seas in August 2004.

Monday is a day at sea. Your first port is Labadee on Tuesday. This is a private beach owned by Royal Caribbean (RCI). It is a good day to just relax on the beach. The small kids land based water park (Lucâs Splash Bash) was free. The bigger Aqua Park is water based and costs $15 for 50 minutes. There are water trampolines and a water see-saw and plastic icebergs for climbing. There are also Wave Runners, but it is a follow the leader type excursion. There are many other things to do, but I recommend just relaxing at the beach and enjoying the day.

If you are adventurous, then try the 500 foot high, 2600 foot long zip line that goes over the water. Sign up for this online, as it is very popular and might be sold out by the time the ship sails.

Wendesday is spent at Ocho Rios. The street vendors can get a little pushy in Jamaica, so be prepared. As you walk away from the dock on your right is the Island Village Shopping Center (just like a mall in the United States). To the left is a very nice beach. It is nice because the street vendors are not allowed in. I was there in August 2004 and it cost $1 to get in. The sand was more like powder. I also did the river tubing, which was fun. In June 2007 we went to Dunn's River Falls. That was hard work, but it was also a lot of fun.

Thursday is spent in Grand Cayman. Like Labadee, this is a tender port (the ship docks in Ocho Rios and Cozumel) which means you take a smaller boat from the ship to the dock. Allow extra time for this.

Both times I went to Grand Cayman I went to Stingray City. For some reason I just really like feeding the stingrays. Seven Mile Beach is just north of the tender dock and is a world class beach. The turtle farm is also popular. Grand Cayman is also well known for its scuba diving.

Friday is Cozumel. It seems to have fully recovered from the hurricane that hit it two years ago. In August 2004 I swam with both a dolphin and a seal. In June 2007 we did some kayaking and snorkeling. Both were fun (though I enjoyed feeding the stingrays more than swimming with the dolphin and seal).

Finally Saturday is another day at sea.

The ship is huge!. Two days at sea are not enough time to fully explore the ship. I did not go on the Flowrider (the surf thing). Unfortunately the Flowrider is not open all day, which limits the number of people who can enjoy it, since it cannot handle as many people in an hour as say the mini water park (H2O Zone) or ice skating (both of which are also available on the ship).

Other activities include the pools (separate from the H2O Zone) rock climbing, miniature golf and people watching in the Royal Promenade. There are also several lounges and an adults disco.

This ship is also great for teens because of the Living Room (a place for the teens to hang out with other teens) and Fuel (the teen disco with a soft drink bar). These two areas are exclusively for the teens (no little kids and no parents).

I recommend you take a look at the central promenade (which is on deck five) from one of the balconies between the elevators on decks six, seven or eight - and be prepared to be Wowed!

It is a great ship that has a lot to offer. Unfortunately one week is not long enough. My favorite excursion is Stingray City on Grand Cayman. My favorite island is Labadee because it is a great place to just relax. I am sure you will have a great time on this ship.

What is the name of this game?

llamallord

Recently, I saw a friend playing a game. I played it and I liked it. I am now trying to find it.

He told me the name, but I forgot it. It was Enigma, Enema, or something like that.

It was for the computer.

It is a game you download for free.

In the game, you are given a particle of an element. The particles fall from a jar in a perpetual stream.

The point of the game is to lead the particles to another jar on the other side of the scree by placing walls, slides, or trampolines in the way of the path. Once you got 50 particles into the jar, you would then go on to the next level.

The different elements I remember were water, fire, and oil. There may be more and the names may be different. I just named them based on appearance.

I apologize if you cannot understand me well. English is my second language. Grammar and sentence structure were never my strong point.

will I be able to repair a slice 18 inches long in a pool cover?

Bang

I recently sliced a swimming pool cover, very clean cut about 18 inches long. Will I be able to repair this?
the material is a tough venial, I'm hopping the company will send a piece that matches color and some glue, it's not my pool!

Answer
Yes, if it's what's called a poly tarp cover. There are self adhesive patch kits available for them, but you may need two. I've only seen them come in 11 inches by 8. The cover needs to be clean and dry for them to work. They come in a clear colour, so will match green, blue or black covers.
If this is a safety cover (looks like a trampoline) I'm afraid not. It has to be sent to the factory for repair as they need the proper material stitched and reinforced. They endure a lot of stress.

Edit: Venial??? Do you mean vinyl? As in a lock in cover ,no water bags on the pool and not a safety cover? If that's the case, sorry, but a new factory piece won't match. Vinyl tends to bleach out a bit with chemicals and sun starting in the first year. For this repair, using something close to matching and patched on the underside of the split, gives the best results visually.

Sweet sixteen help?!!?

francisco

I want to have a sweet sixteen but not too expensive, and small not big, maybe 30-50 people. I want it outdoors but I need ideas and help! Please? My birthday is at the end of may

Answer
Here are some ideas for your party. That's a good number of people and you can pull off any number of these ideas.

Dance Party: This is by far the most popular party. Itâs the most popular for a reason, if you find the right entertainment it can be the most fun of all the different party types. Think about your school dances, many schools only have two per year of which you may only be allowed to attend one! But everywhere you look you see other people having dances on TV or in movies. Dances allow you to throw your own party just like an adult where you can have a blast with all of your closest friends. If you find a DJ who specializes in sweet sixteenâs with lights, games and contests you (or your parents) donât have to worry about anything except showing up, picking out the right music and having a blast with all of your friends! The right DJ should be able to keep the party going all night.

Rock Band, DDR or Guitar Hero Party: Why not take the games you play with your friends to the next level? Setup a screen, lighting, speakers and have a real rock championship to determine the best Rock Band, Guitar Hero, or DDR players. Setting up a tournament with brackets and themed prizes can make your sweet sixteen party a blast!

Outdoor Movie Party: Having your party outdoors can be awesome for you and your friends to take in the great summer weather and watch a movie together. You can rent all the equipment you need to have a massive outdoor screen in your backyard or by the pool so you can all watch a movie together or make a movie night out of it. Having games and party favors within the theme can help turn it into an awesome party. Big blow up screens can oftentimes cost less than $200 and can be used with standard projectors.

Pool Party: Pools are a great way for your friends to relax and hang out in the pool. Hiring a DJ to keep the music going and to incorporate the pool into the evening with contests and games can be a really great party during the summer. You can setup a giant inflatable movie screen next to the pool to show the movies on, or have a volleyball net or basketball hoop if you donât already have one for the pool.

Roller Skating/Ice Skating Party: Having an activity to focus on throughout the night is important if you donât like being the center of attention the whole night. It makes it easy for everyone to have a great time from your really outgoing guests, to friends who need a little help getting into the party. Having a really cool looking sweet sixteen cake can also help kick these parties up a notch. Having a roller or ice skating party can be a great theme option. Many rinks have a lot of creative ways to enhance your party. Having a local band or a DJ can also be a great way to kick up a party to the next level.

Lake Party: If you have a lake or campground near you, these parties can be the most memorable parties and weekends of your life.Most larger lakes have boats or pontoon boats that you can rent, or you can rent jet skis to have a blast with all your friends for your birthday party! Some lakes you can even combine pontoon boats with a dance party if the lake is big enough! You can also look into water trampolines, these can help turn your sweet sixteen party into the party of the year!

Scavenger Hunt: Having all of your friends show up ahead of time and surprising the birthday person with a party and then going out on a scavenger hunt can be an awesome party idea! It gives everyone something to do as well as adding competition into the night. Theme each stop after something that the birthday person likes or reminds you of them. You can do photo or video hunts or hunt for physical objects around town. Have the final location be a secret until you have found all the clues, then everyone can meet up at the final location to really celebrate your party with everyone together!

Best of luck!

How do you mow a lawn with a trampoline?

Kitkat

Ok so my dad might get me a trampoline for my birthday, but he is worried about our yard. Is there a way to mow under the trampoline without moving it? He always wants our yard to look good, and a lot of the things I've read about say you can just move it every time you mow the yard. How heavy is it to move? Any ideas that would be easy to do WITHOUT moving it?

Answer
Mow the lawn up to the trampoline then pull it onto the part already mowed and mow the rest of the lawn they slide easy and site the trampoline in different section of the lawn and will not have any bare spots but water and rain will get through just less light so better to move around different spot each time..very easy to slide to new spot each time..

What Should be Attention When Start Your Inflatable slides Business

Answer
Bouncy castle and similar structures are temporary inflatable buildings and structures that are rented for functions, school and church festivals and village fetes and used for recreational purposes, mainly used by children. The growth in popularity of moonwalks has led to an inflatable rental industry which includes inflatable slides, obstacle courses, games, and more. Inflatables are ideal for portable amusements because they are easy to transport and store. The name given to such structures varies.


They have been marketed with such names as bounce house, Moon Bounce, Astrojump, Moonwalk, Jolly Jump and Spacewalk. The term "Bounce House" came to popularity with the resurgence of hipster culture in New England. "Pula pula" is another name commonly used by Latinos, which literally means "jump jump". The term 'Jolly Jumps' is often used to describe the inflatable playground structure in rural areas and some areas in the Western US, but the term is otherwise obsolete.

Although they are often aimed at children, adult castles can be hired in the many countries,like UK,US,China,Europe and so on. Because of liability concerns, moonwalks are rarely rented to adults in the US. Historically, names for inflatable structures, particularly in the United States, are composed of two, one syllable words. In the United States the terms that consist of two, one syllable words are popular. In Southern California, another popular term is Closed Inflatable Trampolines, or "CITs". Bouncy Castle or Inflatable Castle are used in Ireland, the UK, New Zealand and parts of Australia, and Jumping Castles in Arizona, Australia, Canada and South Africa.

As a whole the term moon bounce has become a generic term for enclosed inflatable trampolines worldwide. Following the popular of inflatables, more and more countries start a rental business,and the kinds of inflatables more and more day by day. Except bouncy castle, also water slide,inflatable tent, giant inflatables,bounce house for children. Many buyer found that usually people are willing buy one or two pieces of bouncy castle or water slide for their children.So not only to rental inflatble, some big imported especial import some small size family using inflatables.

Actually that brings big profit to importer, becuase inflatable field is few in their country and the cose is very expensive in Europe and America,Australia. Also some advertising company will order the big inflatable tent for sport, like tennis,basketball,football,badmin and so on. In winter many countries will snow, it will effect outdoor sports, but many youngers like outdoor sport in winter. Based on this,some smart merchant found that and place order about tent. One of my clients even order an big size of 30*60*15m for 600 people.At present his business is very good.

Does anyone know what this water toy is called?

Anna

It's like a big balloon that floats on top of the water, and you jump from a raised platform onto it. There is also someone else on the toy, who in turn gets launched into the air and falls into the water. It looks like so much fun! But I can't figure out where to get it.
