bouldering wall

we're almost to the last stage. brian rutter from redpoint adventures showed up this week to install the bouldering wall. the framework went up today. we've got a couple of surprises to add to the finished project that should raise the difficulty meter for our young adventurers. very cool stuff. he'll be back next week to finish it up. we're getting close.

riding backwards in the back...

our pal alan root has a great song about riding in the back...talking about riding sitting backwards in a truck...so you can see where you've been. jim and i tried that last night as we helped rod move the counter for the new cafe. fun stuff!

a REALLY productive day....

so we're getting close...rod has been working @ home on the counters. josh showed up to put the final touches on the ceiling over the cafe and what will be the bouldering wall. julie worked hard on painting. bill and jim along with matt pulled together the trim and the front of the stage. and even rudy and kyle offered able assistance on sweeping up the big guy's messes. the best was suzy surprising all with an unbelievably good lunch.

we keep moving along...

seems like a lot got done the last two days. jim finished the entrance way and rod got the cabinets for the cafe in the room. rod also got the raise floor started and jim, bill and todd got some doors hung. julie polyed the hickory and even parker showed up and got the windows trimmed out with primer.

despite the blizzard of '08 we got some work done!

master carpenter jim was at work again today cranking out some cool trim on the stage.
this week was a very good week. many good hands....todd...bill...cindy...julie...melissa...josh...mitch...becky...and others stepped into it an made a dent on the final effort.


rod has been working at his home shop on the cabinets and we ordered the traversing wall too. so all is looking mighty fine. here's pictures from today.

things are moving along...

its been a couple good days. jim, scott, bill and todd have been working hard on the floor and the trim and the doors...aaron has been really working hard on the drywall...and rod is taking an idea and taking it up a notch or two...bam! fun stuff.

progress continues
