She Came Tumbling Down: Our Rusty Basketball Hoop

When we bought this house there were some weird things about it. Thankfully, Brian and I don’t judge a book by its cover.One of the weirdest things was this rusty DIYed basketball hoop in the driveway. We didn’t think it was safe anymore, and quite frankly it was an eyesore.

We thought about spray painting it, but after closer examination we realized it wasn’t really safe, so down it came. With the help of our friend Scott, Brian removed all the bolts, and let the backboard and hoop fall on some pallets put in the driveway to cushion the fall.

After the bolts were removed we noticed they were all bent, thus solidifying the fact that this thing needed to come down.

Then it was time for the post to come down. Thank goodness for the Milwaukee SawsAll.

 

TIMBER!

The kids watched this whole process from the living room window, but Brian and I let them outside to help cleanup. The kids had much more fun playing. Scott showed them how to use ratchet wrenches.

 

The boys favorite part was putting the pallets back in the garage. Look at those muscles!
