Everytime I fell down about my situation I just think about other people. There are many who have it a whole lot worse than we do and most people in those situations don't complain as much as we do. But on the other side of the coin it doesn't hurt to get it off your chest, just don't dwell on it.

Has anyone tried making their own net? I found some instructions online with the needed materials.
We don't have a net and can't afford one yet. I'm willing to put the time into making one myself though if it will save some money.

I guess this isn't exactly what the thread is about, but since we are on the subject of mending nets, is there anyway to repair a net with broken main draw strings. I am not sure the correct terminology for them, but the strings that pull the net closed. I have on where I broke a few of them, and was wondering if I could fix it anyway.

LOL.
Well, I sew, crochet, knit and spin my own yarn so the net making would kind of go right along with this.
