Home Ice Advantage: November 2009
http://homeiceadvantage.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to the construction and realization of a life long dream. Wednesday, November 18, 2009. Not falling very quickly. In fact, it'll be into December before the nights will be cold enough for me to even begin thinking about flooding. The other day I was outside doing yardwork in shorts and a t-shirt. It's the end of November. Wednesday, November 11, 2009. Jay has offered to pick me up one in the Soo and throw it on the Greyhound to get to me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Running Cost - $1100.

Home Ice Advantage: November 2010
http://homeiceadvantage.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to the construction and realization of a life long dream. Sunday, November 21, 2010. So it was nice and cold on Saturday morning. I stopped in at Home Depot to see if the liners were in for the rink. Luckily enough, they were. but they'd raised the price of the 40x60 to $149 this year! Got it home, and Hannah helped me put it down. Got the water running. It filled and filled and filled. I had a feeling that it was leaking somewhere, but there was no evidence of it anywhere. O Homeboni - ...

Home Ice Advantage: September 2011
http://homeiceadvantage.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to the construction and realization of a life long dream. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. So October is nearly here. and I think I've made a decision. To *not* build my rink this year. For a couple of reasons. The biggest one being that my girlfriend of 5 years and I broke up due to. well, whatever. She moved out in July, and with her went her 7 yr old son who was the main user of the rink the past couple of years (except for last year when I didn't have one either). Running Cost - $1100.

Home Ice Advantage: March 2009
http://homeiceadvantage.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to the construction and realization of a life long dream. Sunday, March 8, 2009. Is this the end? The coming of spring often times brings about major changes in ones life. There's some personal upheaval atm, which I'm not going to write about - but I will discuss the ice situation. Recently we've had some very warm weather ( 5C) and some snowfall, which has left the rink pitted and bumpy. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A blog dedicated to the construction and realization of a life long dream. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. The season begins anew. It's almost October. That means soon comes the cold of November and the snow of December. On the flip side, I was on kijiji and someone was selling a rink rake (an official NHL licenced one! For $10. I bought it. Turns out the seller was someone else who works in my company, just in a different office. Small town. Hockey draft is this week. It's all about making life easier.

Home Ice Advantage: October 2012
http://homeiceadvantage.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to the construction and realization of a life long dream. Sunday, October 21, 2012. The Fat Lady Sings. And I sold the rink the other day. It comes with a lot of mixed emotions. The good times. the frustrations. the blood, sweat and tears of the creation and maintenance. Of the joyful laughter of the kids (and adults) skating and playing hockey. I'm glad it's found a new home. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This is a Flickr badge showing photos in a set called Home Ice Advantage. O 24, 2" r...

Home Ice Advantage: An Unmitigated Disaster
http://homeiceadvantage.blogspot.com/2010/12/unmitigated-disaster.html
A blog dedicated to the construction and realization of a life long dream. Sunday, December 12, 2010. So there was a hole in the liner. AT least one. I had tried to do another fill, with the same result. I noticed a small orange wiffle ball under the tarp in the middle of the rink. I had to make the hole larger to get it out and repaired it with multiple strips of duct tape. Another fill, same result - so the liner itself might have a defect in it somewhere. somewhere I just can't find. O Homeboni - $45.

Home Ice Advantage: December 2009
http://homeiceadvantage.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to the construction and realization of a life long dream. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Boards are up (mostly) and first skate. Thanks to the boys coming by on a warm Tuesday night, the end boards went up with only slight difficulties. A couple of days later, the kids too to the rink for a few hours of bliss and exercise. Good times. Over Christmas it rained. Yes, rain. In Northern Ontario at the end of December. Combine that with snow and the entire city was a disaster. Temperatures FINA...
