Although we were 3 weeks past our original date, the floor was completed in record time on January 19th. Many thanks go out to those that donated time and funds to this project. A few extra special Thank You's go out to Bruce Yoshikawa for letting us store the wood in his shop for 3 extra weeks, to Nicole Whitehead for organizing the Buy a Board Fundraiser and to the WSU/UI Gymnastics club and the U of I Pole vaulting team for helping with the labor. 
There were over 20 broken boards. Mark is shown holding one of the worst. 
Over 30 volunteers that came out on Saturday evening to help. 
In 4 hours the old springs were off, and 2/3 of the new floor was assembled. 
Check out the junk that Victoria had the pleasure of cleaning up. 
That's where all the pens went! 
On Sunday a work crew of ten completed the floor in another 4 hours work. It doesn't look all that different, but now the floor will last for years to come. Look at the beautiful Baltic Birch!
