Painted Mattress Survival Boat

Step 9Spring is in the Air

Spring is in the Air
While the paint dries we goof around flinging a coilspring from a car with the discarded mattress bottom scrim tied to it as a tail. It's good for a game of "monster eurythmics" or "redneck custom with funny name" or what have you. It bounces in a totally unpredictable way and seems extremely dangerous. No one got hit in the face or hurt in any way, so good times were had by all.

Of course we were all traumatized by the major pun, "spring is in the air".
