"On the cold days (28 degrees F or colder) I've been trying to flood at least twice...once around 3:30pm and again around 8-8:30pm. We have had about 3 good skates so far but the flippin' 40 degree days…"

"Nice rig....nice set up.
Do you have a water shut-off that can be reached from the sitting position? Or is the water always on until you get off and shut it off?
I'm thinking of building a Zamboni myself...Just looking for any…"

The rink is looking good...thanks to the fast snow removal on New Years Eve.
We removed the snow at about 10:30pm after the snow stopped and the ice froze over night.
I think if I were to have left the snow on the ice over night it would have…"
"I'll be buying a new liner next year.
I'm having a ton of problems with the used liner..
Yes, new is expensive but a lot less frustrating.
Thanks for your input... I guess you learn something new every year."
C-mac commented on Scott "Moose" Mattson's blog post Rink liners and repair"I've tried re-using liners and tarps from previous years, I've always found it more hassle than the $$ it saves.

"Scott,
Thanks for the tips. I used 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive to put two liners together and it's working great. Used it a few days ago in cold weather and it's holding it's own with water just fine. Used a seam…"

I just want to pass on a bit of info for anyone that uses a liner when building a rink.This year I'm using 50' x 100' silage film bought used last spring. Needless to say there are more tears and holes then I remember seeing last spring. Yes, I should have patched all the holes during warm weather but you guessed it...I didn't. For the last week (on and off) I've been struggling to get it patched and flood my rink.I tried everything from White 3M duct tape to Dap Rubber Silicone. Here is what…See More

If you've looked at my page (photos) you can see we (obviously) haven’t completed the rink (yet) but would like to thank everyone who has helped (to this point) by donating materials, time or tools.
Yes, we have had to pay for a number of items and services ourselves but found many…
