Backyard rink progress update!

Remember when I posted about building a DIY ice rink in our backyard in Toronto? Well we got it done and it's been running for 3 weeks now. My kids have gone from "I hate skating" to asking to go out there every day. My 8yo actually learned to skate without falling constantly. The maintenance is way less annoying than I thought - just need to re-flood every other day when it gets cold enough. 10/10 weekend project, would recommend to anyone in a freezing climate.
