The GreenhouseI had this greenhouse set up last year but EVERYTHING was make-shift and overall pretty scetchy. by the end of the winter, though, trev and i had it down pretty good. we had two rails, two funboxes, a launch ramp, a bank (only to drop in on cuz it wasnt stable, and a really sketchy STEEP quater pipe. the floor was plywood that we overlapped so you could only skate in one direction. it was a great place to get out of the rainy winter, and we had lights and power back there so i played music. it was nothing like it is now...Trever, Jeff, and I have TOTTALY re-done the entire place. it is now pimp-shit. we re-did the whole floor with thick 3/4 in high grade sanded plywood. we elevated it with 2 by 4's to level it out and creat a seemless run, and we have added a 12foot wide bank and a new quarter pipe. the bank is deffinatly the funnest thing in there right now, and the floor is very smooth and great to skate. jeff and i were walking out of the PSAT's on saterday and we saw a couch for sale in the commons (i guess the theater was selling it or somthing) so we got a couch for $20. i put a fridge back there so we always have chilled beverages and my sterio so we got tunes. the place is all indoor and level and nice and pirfect. im happy!

starting
we started working on the floor and bank around noon on friday oct 17 ramzi came over to help us, and at one point he was swatting at a bee or somthing and let a skateboard fly. it hit the strand of lights and nocked all of them down, shattering most. that caused us a little bit of setback, but we got all the glass cleaned up, and finished up the floor. |
finishing
we finished up late friday night. the new quarter pipe and couch would be added soon... we got a couch in there and trev came over with a half finished ramp that we added some copping to and screwed in place on the 25. we also finished the bank and got a cabnet to lock our stuff up. |
finishing
once the bank was finished, we had to test it out. jeff has the jeans on. the other one is me. |
