Hey guys! I realize a small percentage of you follow this channel for hockey projects, but it is a big passion of our families and we enjoy sharing the journey each year with those who like to see it. 

The Season 5 Rink build will be coming out within the next 1-2 weeks and I'm wanting to hear what you'd like to see more of in this years video. Past videos have been between 20-30 minutes and focused on the overall build process. 

This year, I did post 3 videos already ( boards, netting, and under ice lighting ) so I'll be able to refer to them for more detailed information. With the time I free up, what would you like to see? 

More focus on maintaining the ice? More video showing people skating on and using the rink? More information about the warming house? Or something else? Please share. I'd love your input to help make this years rink video helpful and inspiring! Comment below please!

Cheers - Pete

It has been a while, but I wanted to give an update on this years rink build. I unfortunately tore my ACL and meniscus in my knee playing adult league hockey in November. I tried to rehab for a while thinking it was a just a meniscus injury, but an MRI showed the completely torn ACL once I went in for it.. Surgery went smoothly and I’m on the rehab side of things as of this week. We are super bummed not to get to share the rink this year as it is one of our favorite projects we look forward to building. We also love having folks up to skate. A year off from the rink has meant getting to spend more time with our 8 month old and that is something I am thankful for. Hoping to be back out on the ice next year. Until then there is plenty of footage from other projects that can be uploaded and I’m looking forward to getting back in the shop in about a month. Hope you are doing well and take care! ‪@niceink7684‬  ‪@BauerHockey1927‬ ‪@odrheaven4114‬  #odr #backyardhockey

Hey guys! I need your help. The last video on how the 12x20 Ultimate shed was built seems to be popular with viewers and I'm thinking about doing something similar but smaller. I'm looking at designing a small, efficient, and affordable backyard shed that would be customized into an office. With a newborn in the house, separating the work environment from the house has been a great way to improve productivity and give me a quiet working area. Would anyone be interested in a build like this? If so, what size would you like to see built and what would you use it for? I'm thinking a smaller footprint and lower roof to help make it easier for approval with home owners associations. Would love to hear your ideas and feedback. Thanks!! - Pete

Hey guys! The last few years have been a little overwhelming remodeling our entire home, but that is 95% complete and I'm excited to get back to working on normal woodworking projects, smaller home improvement projects, landscaping improvements, and other fun projects. I'm curious what you'd like to see as I want the projects to be of value and inspiration to you. Could you please drop a comment below and let me know? I'd love to hear from you. Thank you! - Pete

Hey guys! Just thought I’d show an update of the ice rink warming house project. It’s been a blast to build and I look forward to sharing the video when the project is finished! Cheers
