Sparkies have been mia, but the plumbers have been here last 2 days. They opened up the under floor to run the drains. Check out this floor structure! That’s old growth 3x12 measures 4x12 beams on 12” centers! Then cross braced. That’s sitting on 12” old growth Doug fir post and beams. Place was built by the local timber baron back when he had the largest saw mill in the world.
They ran a 3” drain all the way to the other end of the building. I’ll be taking over this storage room soon.
It terminates here into a back flow preventing valve before headed to the street.
Plumber said he was an apprentice when this got put in. Said he’s going to clean it up but I won’t be on this line. We have to have a dedicated metered line as we are technically a separate address so we will get an instant hot water heater.
I had them add a floor sink to plumb the compressor drain into and to drain the ski tunning equipment and will have a spigot for filling the tunning machines.
Did a father son weekend in Sun Peaks with Stian. He’s sending it. This is one of the smaller jumps he’s doing and it’s 15’ from take off to landing. Most adults were not clearing it. He was boosting 6’ off deck on the more poppy jumps. So I need to invest in a new full face and probably a neck protector for him. The new carbon Sentinel made him go from liking biking to loving it and not wanting to stop!
We did just under 90 miles in 2 days. My arms were beat! Didn’t do a lot of variety tho. He found the combination of jump trails he liked best and we just lapped the **** out of them. Personally I’m more into steep tech, but I’m all for repetition at the bike park with him so he gets dialed jumping. I know I can’t stop him from sending it on jumps. so best thing is to teach him how to properly and safely build skills to learn how to safely build up to bigger features. I’m a strong believer repeating the same stuff over and over till it’s 100% then move on to the next larger set.
