having now seen it in the flesh I can confirm that it's jaw dropping! Possibly the sickest backyard set up I've ever seen. :shock:

Almost all the polycarb sheeting over the pipe today, would've finished but I've run out. So I guess some plying can start since we have "the dry" now................

Shits going down now - Johnny hotslide got the step all paved up this morning!! So something for the street rippers to mess around on.

Yeah ZigZag, roll-in will come off the roof where that beam is in the last pics.

Ha - your flimsy weather can't stop us now, we're dry I tell you, dry!. Do track a bit of sand onto the ply though. Almost all the first layer on and two sheets of the second ply laid today. We tested the strength of the twin ply layers extensively before fitting - Two hits from Hotslide with the pick and about eight nose firsts from me right between the beams. Hard enough to ruin my board and only a couple of slight dints to the surface with no structural damage. Put that in your pipe CSIRO. And once the work day is done we like to sit down, enjoy a drink and party on in our time tunnelotech. Starting to get really exciting.
