I've been meaning to ask this question for months!
For me, my rink project list is about 8 items long...and with every passing day, the likelihood of getting to any of them diminishes. For the sake of getting something in list form, here goes:
-Reconfigure/repair the Chelmsford Forum boards so they're flush (thanks for nothing, sawzall-wielding board removal guys)
-Finish painting the fence posts around my court black (instead of the nice shade of crimson rust)
-Lay out my boards and number them
-Drill evenly-spaced holes in the court surface, drop in 3/4" piping, and fashion some sort of waterproof cover so that come winter, I can drop in some rebar to use as supports (because having a rink on a tennis court is not nearly as sexy as it sounds due to lack of ground-penetrating supports)
-Get rid of last year's tarp, which is still in a giant roll in my backyard
-Repair my goal, which fell apart in four pieces whenever someone other than me tried to move it
I may get to removing the tarp, but I don't have high hopes for anything else with the business ramping up. Are we building this year, Mr F?
