Day 1

Day 1: Starting Point
We aquired some stall mats to be used as gym flooring but needed a place to put them. Hundo's garage seemed like a good spot, but as you can see from the photo above it needed some attention.



After some work we filled the truck to make a dump run which got the garage clean enough to store the mats.




After the dump we coincidentally took a wrong road and stumbled acrossed a tire gold mine in the middle of Arlington. We naturally pulled over and asked if we could have some of the tires. The little girl thought we were crazy but cooperated and called her grandpa to give us the go ahead. We loaded the truck up with 5 good sized tires full of NASTY ice and water and headed to Shilly's house to clean the mats and tires.




Let the cleaning/freezing begin! We laid the mats and the tires on the already frozen ground and cleaned them with TSP (some crazy good cleaner) and a pressure washer. The water from the pressure washer froze to the ground fairly quickly which complicated things! We pulled the mats into the garage to dry them off and hopefully defrost them. We then threw the mats onto the truck along with the tires (not an easy task) and drove back to Hundo's to store the newest edition of the Beast Element gym!!!
