Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Re: Hot tub ongoing costs?

[Elizabeth Stevenson (tamgoddess]

That was *one* weekend. I also had a lot of screaming, bouncing kids when I
got a trampoline, but the furor died down after a few days. Nobody asks to
use it anymore.

I've never heard anyone with a permanent installation even mention that kids
were a problem, except for making sure that toddlers wouldn't fall in.
