The Woody Gets a Real Roof!

Go figure we chose to build our fancy new climbing wall during El Nino, when we end up getting more rain than we’ve had in years!  Needless to say, my temporary heavy duty tarp roof didn’t last more than a few months before it started leaking.  Unfortunately we didn’t have the $$ to put a permanent roof on right away, so we limped through monsoon season and a wet fall until we could buy all the materials to put a corrugated metal roof on.  Finally, during my Christmas break, I was able to finish the install, so she’s now ready for all the rain Mother Nature can throw at her!  The roofing is bare steel, so eventually it will form a nice bright orange oxide layer and look really cool!
