Sideyard rink

 After last year's feeble attempt at a rink, I decided to try harder this year. At the end of last season I picked up a proper rink liner (40ftx50ft) on clearance at HD for $40. It was regularly $200+. This year I have been collecting waste wood for the boards. I also had a dozen wooden spikes from a previous project. First I connected the waste boards for a rough square of 16x32.  Spiked them in. I then laid a base of waste lumber tarps. Finally  I put half of my proper liner down (roughly 20x50) I may use the other half for next years rink. I used plastic clamps I had bought years ago to clamp the liner and base to the boards. I'll be adding flex pipe insulator or pool noodles for the board tops later. I am filling it a half hour on, half hour off tonight. Each inch is at least an hour on my pump. The next 14 days are supposed to be below zero, so now I wait and see.

More pictures later but it sort of looks cool as the logos of the lumber comes through the liner. By total fluke the logos have blue lines roughly lining up with the blue line and centre ice on one side!
