A few weeks ago we got a notice from Farmers Insurance Company that we needed to remove our trampoline or they were forced to cancel our home owners insurance. It was just a matter of a few days we received a check in the mail for $511.78 from the insurance company with the notice of cancellation.
Don't get me wrong. Farmers is a very efficient company and our agent Gary Rasmussen is the best. They just didn't give us enough time to take it down. The instructions were to remove it. Take photos of before with it in the yard and photos of our yard without it.
We decided to be efficient back and made this video. It turns out being a memorial for a great friend that we had for more than 14 years. A lot of fond memories were made from this large yard toy. All three of our daughters, their friends and our friends, our grandkids and many of our relatives have all enjoyed many, many hours on this trampoline. It was bitter sweet having to disassemble and pile it up for the trash heap. It was for the best. The springs were all rusty as were the legs. It had lost its elasticity of many years ago. It was going to break down on its own soon.
Here you go Farmers Insurance. This is absolute proof that the dreaded trampoline is gone for good. Just another sign of many ongoing changes in our society. At least we have the memories.
God Bless You and pray for all of our troops to come home safe and for our Country leaders to make the right choices to help us get through this turmoil.

I agree Gary. This sucks. Next thing they will tell us we can't use Gas grills on our wood decks.
