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
16
Looking good
17
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
22
The new wall in all its glory
23
24
Don't you wish this was in your home?
25
The hangboard area
26
And new cubbies for shoe storage
27
More storage options too
28
Such an improvement, don't you think?
29
Testing out the new wall!

very cool to teach the children the skills of climbing at the early ages. Not only will they be knowledgeable, but stronger than average as well. Good for them!
