It's not uncommon for people to want to renovate rooms in their home. But most people wouldn't even think about doing what this family did.The sad state of their old wall built 10 years ago
1

The angles were too similar and not much of a challenge anymore, plus storage was getting to be a problem
2

Shoes were scattered on the floor and the shelf was too high to access
3

So a renovation was in order, and the first step was to strip the wall
4

Step two was to remove the old plywood, and of course, save it for the upgrade
5

Demolition mess - it doesn't even look like a climbing area at this point
6

Even their son was getting in on the action by pulling nails from the 2x6's
7

The design and plan
8

They laid out all of the framing just like they do for rafters
9

Next step: building the framing members
10

Starting to take shape, but this first attempt at framing was too tight at the top
11

Their son nailing the 2x6's
12

Success! They reused the original framing and also used wood leftover from a friend's ice rink project
13

The framing, completed - including 10, 20, 30, and 40-degree walls. Plus, a vertical wall in the back
14

Onto the plywood. They were able to reuse all of the old plywood and only had to buy another 10 sheets
15

Almost done with the plywood

Looking good

Now to paint the walls
18

And reinstall the padding, which was a mixture of seat material from old cars
19

New carpets and holds just waiting to be washed
20

Putting the power-washer to good use
21

Now to let them dry out

The new wall in all its glory

Don't you wish this was in your home?

The hangboard area

And new cubbies for shoe storage

More storage options too

Such an improvement, don't you think?
