just got home from the overnight shift and relaxing watching TH-cam. then I get a notification of a new video from you, perfect end to my day! that zip line looks wicked awesome!!
145 episodes in.......and I still get excited when I see you've got a new video up. The "new things" you've tackled since your start up are admirable. You've created an amazing "happy place" for your gang. Keep it up buddy.
Thanks Dave. Some of the projects have been more fun than others, but overall was an overall good move. Spending a day out there tinkering around quickly clears the mind and the soul. Still a fairly long list of things I want to do, not sure a weekly pace will be sustainable through the winter though. I really need to turn my attention back to some landscaping now that the weather is cool. I have another 40-50 trees I want to take out, I also want to double the size of my garden out there before spring... and I want to spend some extra effort on the 'orchard' now that the trees are a couple years old this spring, some may be ready to bare fruit, need to get them on a treatment, pruning, and fertilization schedule for good results. Most of all that would like be of no interest to anyone on YT :)
They do stretch a bit. Hot / cold weather changes it some too. It would need adjustment if sagging causes someone to not make it to the landing pad. It takes hundreds of zips to make a noticeable difference.

It would have been funny if I had videoed my first run. Wife, rightfully so, a little upset I tried it out without anyone around.
Awesomeness is underrated. LoL, great video Chris. Fun for the whole family. Good job on the platforms buddy.
As with most my efforts… platforms may be a little bit of overkill and over engineering. At least they will stay put.

Wrapped up the stairs this weekend. Hope we have some more good zipping weather over Madison’s thanksgiving break.
Does the cable stretch after use? How often would you have to retention? Interesting project.

Thanks JW, and once in place EZ to tighten up a bit with the turnbuckles.
