. . . The ultimate ode to boy mom life . . .
Yepp, we’re building a basketball court, half pipe + rock climbing room IN our house! We’ll also include a foam pit next to the half pipe that will have a rock climbing wall next to it! The boys love to climb at Jon’s office so this was something we knew we wanted to incorporate. Hoping this will create a space that kids will gather to play + feel accepted, what I’ve been dreaming about for years!
Building the sports room had it’s fair share of set backs. If you remember from the digging days, we tapped into a higher than planned water table. Our solution was to put in 2 permanent sump pumps, which will cut back on seating around the half pipe.
Don’t know how I’ll be able to get the boys to do their homework or get ready for bed when this room exists in the house . . . haha.
Last month Jon took Jonah + Rigg with him before work to Gold’s Gym because they have a basketball court + the weather was pretty snowy at our house. They got turned away because you have to be 12 to play. WHO KNEW. All the better reason to build one in our home, that will grow with our family for many, many years!
I’m now gathering all the design inspo for helmets racks, a basketball holder + a padded ball or foam pit to jump into. The room will have a more raw + industrial feel! Still deciding if we should keep the ceiling exposed or frame it in!
PS- If you know anyone good at building half pipes send them our way!
