The excitement level is HIGH at our house today! We moved this beauty from Bruce's folks' house in Kearney to our house...no small feat. Thanks SO much to Crazy Uncle Keith for helping take it apart and getting it loaded up, to Mr. Incredible Geoff Eckert for hauling the slate down our stairs, and to Dan Thompson for helping get the slate on and leveled. We could NOT have done it without all of you! Come over and play anytime!
Here's the table at it's old home in Kearney - thank you SO MUCH to Grandma and Grandpa Bond for passing it along - we will take good care of it and use it LOTS and LOTS! We were talking about buying a cover for it and decided that it will probably never need a cover because there will ALWAYS be someone playing it! :-)
Here's Bruce and Geoff moving a piece of slate through our recroom and down the stairs. We think that each piece weighs around 350#.
Got all of the pieces moved into the basement and now we're getting the legs attached.
Bruce melted beeswax into the space between each of the three slates. The kids thought that Daddy's blowtorch was the coolest thing ever! We used it at night to light sparklers, too!
Got the slate finished, all leveled out, felt stapled back on and just wrapping up the finishing touches!
