Freeze/Thaw Continued

The cold night temperatures are still with us, but we still got 6 clay courts cleaned and spread with new Har Tru yesterday. Every day for the last week has been pretty much the same. The courts are frozen in the morning, thaw out and get soupy and then dry a bit. Yesterday we turned on our water system, so this morning we tried putting some water on the courts to help speed the thawing - we'll see if it helps. Pictured below is the almost finished Route 9 courts and the crew cleaning the courts early in the morning while the surface was still frozen.

Playing living statues?

Two more weeks - no pressure.

Get the board members to help with the clay spreading and cleanup.
