Main frame complete!

It took until 12:30 last night, but with the help of Brian and Kel we completed the wood frame for the new wall. Next up is placing the junction boxes for the wiring, which if I'm lucky Brian will get to today. After that we start hanging the ply-wood face, this step is very important not because of the extra strength it provides, but rather because we can keep heat in the area to work in.

Oh and did I mention that we have enough dark blue commercial carpet to cover the whole arena? Yeah, that's right.

Though we have come across a new problem: The other three walls are a typical pole building, with the main support posts being 8 feet apart. We had not considered how to mount the grid to these walls. The area in between the posts cannot be used for support.
I'm hoping that light unistrut with a 2x4 backing will be enough to handle the weight, but I'll have to see if the engineer agrees...
