I spent something close to 8 or 10 months on this, but in my defense, it was one hell of a busy year. The homestead is a 100+ year old house, that has been mostly renovated, but I never did much of anything with the old garage, which serves as my woodshop. So we took the battens off th esiding on one end, and added some furring strips.
There just wasn't a lot of room to play with, the end of the building is only aout 14' wide by 15' tall at the peak, so the features are pretty limited.
My daughter is the most avid climber in the family, so she has been the driving force and the workhorse of the project.
Not quite done, but we were done enough for now, and finished off the parts that were completed with chalkboard paint.
The swinging doors still work, just barely. The extra weight causes them to drag on the ground, so I might add a caster on the inside. I almost never use those doors, it's a woodshop not a garage at this point, and I haven't built anythign really large in quite a while.
An old futon pad and a couple fo bouldering pads provide crash protection. Still building a collection of holds, but the daughter has already started putting up routes, and I've gotten a work out in. I think she'll get a lot mor eout of it than I do, she's a boulderer, whereas I really need more time on the sharp end of a rope at this stage of my development. DOesn't matter it's fun.
