Local Flakes
Here is a short video of our good friend Anke (from Germany - Grit's sister) sending Local Flakes, V2 at Hueco Tanks. Local Flakes is a classic problem on the Mushroom Boulder, which has been Anke's long standing project for the last few weekends. She cruised it this weekend! Nice job. Check out her sendin' style:

Bathroom Project: Check
So we've been busy. Really busy actually. With all our house projects this year and not having any time to tackle the long list, we got to thinking, "hmm, we need help!" So, we hired someone to completely remodel our guest house bathroom. Like any project around the house it was way more involved than we originally planned but having someone else tackle the project made it possible in only a few weeks and the end result is something April and I love! Check out the following pictures of the before, during and after.
Here is the old shower. One day I stepped too hard on the plastic and cracked the base. That was when we declared the shower out-of-order. About 6 months ago. Our guests who visited had to share the main house shower with us.
MOLD! Yuck.
We really went crazy tearing out the shower. The walls and floor had to come out too. To our surprise the plumbing SUCKED! Really sucked!
We had to have major work done. Basically, all new plumbing.
Finally, we can begin to see the shower taking shape.
Today we put the shower bar up and called the project finished!
Everything in our plans revolved around our "talavera" sink. The sink is the only original item. New mirror, faucet, cabinet, tile and paint.
New tile along the window which matches the sink.
The shower floor with decorative tile around the base which matches the sink and mirror tile.

Twenty to Fourty Five Degrees
So, this weekend we decided to make our "woody" (a climbing wall) a little steeper. 20 Degrees just didn't cut it. 45 Degrees sounded so much better...
Before: 20 Degrees
After: 45 Degrees
