I'll second the 'using old tarp under new tarp' - I've done it before and it works nicely. My project so far this summer (thanks to a week's staycation) was to replace the plywood on the face of 8 boards - 4 flat and 4 curved. The 4 curved boards used to be 7'x3' and are now 8'x4' so that will hopef...

Picture perfect with the fire bowl and the river behind. Kudos!

What about this mug?! Would this mug lie?

Can't make the water out of my well any colder than it already is... :-)

Go for it, use them wherever you like - I'm not on that site anymore, otherwise I would have posted them for you there.

Enjoy!

That is absolutely awesome! The rink must be a decent size in order to host a 3 on 3 tourney like that - it looks like you even had jerseys made up!

I would love to say let it sit and freeze until the slush has a chance to harden but with 20+" of snow that's going to act as an insulator more than anything else. If there is anyway you can get some of the snow off the slush so that it can freeze that would be my best suggestion. Have lots of ...

As Joe stated, your shallow areas (as well as those in direct sunlight) will melt first. The top layer of ice will slowly turn to a slush of ice pellets and eventually melt. The water from the melting ice is going to find it's path of least resistance to the low spots. You can hasten the process by ...
