Kevmac is the cog that keeps this train running. Thank you Kev!
Rink looks great. Only advice I'd have in future years is to not cut the liner so close to the ice level - let it drape up over the tops of the boards (keep it there with spring clamps, pipe insulation, or rink-specific bumper caps). Never use staples. If it gets warm in Jan or Feb and your supports budge a bit (ie, move outward), that could suck your liner down below the ice/water line and cause problems. I say this because I've done it...and now I keep at least a few inches of liner draped over the outside of the boards (and make sure I brace enough that nothing moves).
