GYM PAINTING AND PLYO BOX BUILDOUT DAY – A DRAMA IN TWO PARTS
OK, it’s an official signup. Part One – most of you are aware of. We need to finish painting the gym, and probably touch up some of the areas that have taken a beating from wallballs and HSPU. October 10th is the day. Sign up if you’re in. Easy enough.
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL…. ( <– that works best in a Billy Mays voice)
A lot of people have said they want to have some plyo boxes for their homes, so that they can have box jumps available as an option on days when they can’t make it to The Playground.
If you buy a plyo box online, you’re looking at 100 bucks if you’re looking at a nickel. We’ve got good news for you – We can beat the crap out of that price. So we’re offering you a two-fer. IF you come and help us with the painting, we will help you by building you a plyo box. We’ve got the saws, the drills, the screws, the wood glue, the know-how, and the dashing good looks to pull it off.
If you’re in for a plyo box (or plyo boxes, if you so desire), let us know (drop an email to info at crossfitplayground dot com, that way Will and Cindy both get it). You’ll need to get us 25 bucks per box you want built. That price will cover a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood from Home Depot plus a few thousand Turkish Lira for gas, time and effort. Let us know how many boxes you want, and what sizes you want (we’ve got solid templates for the 12, 16, 20, and 24 inch variety, all of which can be made from a single sheet of plywood. If you want bigger, let us know, we’ll figure out the price). Get us the cash by October 8th at the latest – we’re going to Home Depot on the 9th, and that will be that.
One additional note – 3/4 inch plywood is about 50 pounds a sheet, so we can do about 20 sheets in the pickup before the weight and height start becoming an issue. If the demand is overwhelming, we can make more than one trip, but get your order in sooner rather than later.
Sign up below, and bonus points for amusing us with your bio.

Cindy and Will,
Our strength grows out of our weaknesses.

Thanks for a great WOD and setting me up the deadlifts too.
