The day was spent stomping the sand around and under the pipes to fill in any gaps (since it was damp and is now drying out).
Then brooms were pushed across the top, sand added, re-stomped and brushed again. The goal now is to compact the sand while dry. The next step will be to put water on it, compact it again and fill in any other pockets with sand.
Also the track for another wall is going up.
Tomorrow, Tim Yeo, an internationally renown ice maker, will arrive to tour the facility and consult on our ice making process. Many if us are very excited for his arrival and thankful to have his expert opinion (he has made ice for the Briar) as we create our ice for the first time. Welcome Tim!
I"m finding this whole process of building a curling rink from the ground up to be fascinating! So much work, your volunteers must be simultaneously jazzed and exhausted. I"m so excited (and envious) for your club!
