So last weekend, we began the process of building our new climbing wall. Now, I knew from Tommy’s plans that this thing was going to be fairly big. However, when we got to the store to buy the supplies, the magnitude of the project finally sunk in. I thought we’d be able to get it all in one load, but we ended up making 3 trips for everything – 3 tons of concrete and 4 tons of lumber. Everyone at Home Depot kept asking us, “What the heck are you building!?” When we told them, they said one of two things: What’s a woody? or Why would you build that? Haha! Hilarious. So last Friday night was our biggest load. Our good friend Gil let us use his huge diesel truck and trailer and we almost blew out the tires on the thing hauling all the concrete. Saturday morning we moved all 90 bags to the backyard in wheelbarrows which was really f’ing hard and then finished out the day by putting all the lumber in the garage so it wouldn’t get wet. Holy Mother. I told Tommy that I’m not sure we’re going to be alive enough to actually climb on this thing after it’s built. =) Anyway, here’s the first wave of pictures of tons more to come. When this thing’s done, you all are more than welcome to come try it out! Haha! Love you all! xo
