Sunday May 22nd 1-5pm

The new boxes are almost finished! We'll need to finish sheeting a few more, put handles on, then sand down and stain them.

And I don't want to jinx it but I got a new plan for floor railings that I may be able to put in effect :)

Volunteers welcome! Bring sanding tools of you got em - 206.923.8864

We'll be at the gym or down the street in the new workshop tomorrow from 12-5 working on the 10 or so new boxes that are partially constructed. Hopefully it's nice out and we can assemble outside! If you are available to help out please bring a cordless drill/driver or a table saw ;) Can't wait to get these done! Call 206.923.8864 if you don't see us

Around 5pm we'll order some pizza and gather to discuss plans for the new parkour park project! All are welcome

We are approaching the singularity!! :P

  • Brandee and Eric busted their ass cutting out the rest of the front roorn's flooring. From irregularly angled wall to oddly shaped wall is all smooth rubber now :) Eric even dedicated a small piece of his finger to the design... (he's healed now!)
  • Stone Gardens and Rafe just doubled our number of rock climbing holds - and they‘re mostly all big jugs!
  • Kai has built us an incredibly sexy steel weight sled - you just love to hate it...
  • Terry (Austin's dad) donated some long pipe and fittings for new extra-long precision trainers
  • Brandee has brought in our first natural environment trainer in the form of an avocado plant 
  • I moved around the utility closet so we can use the windows more, and ended up adding more cubby storage and a closet<->workshop quick access bar in the process.
  • We‘ve acquired our first dolly cart and are transferring between the dedicated workshop and gym now 
  • I made some quick fixes to our precision hangers to make them hold things better 
  • Eric installed a new very tough pull up bar to the doorway
  • Eric and I added some shelving to the kitchen
  • Eric and Beth added an awesome extra layer of storage to the lounge closet, and I added a bar for extra bars...
  • The Bulldog concrete rotary hammer has arrived :)

Brandee is actually finishing up the second flooring as we speak, we have some amazing volunteers! Very exciting as the gym is coming together!

Laying down flooring

We got the entire front room floored and the drywall covering the brick in the second room removed!

Build day tomorrow from 1pm to 5pm - will only need a few folks for dragging around the heavy rubber flooring but if enough people show up there are some walls I'd like to tear down ;)

Volunteers and demo bars welcome! Give us a call at 206.923.8864
