Tennis courts nearing completion

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.   The tennis courts are nearing completion.  We laid 560 pounds shy of 8 tons of clay to resurface the courts.  Another 400 pounds of calcium chloride to harden the surface and many passes back and forth on the roller to the point where we are ready to lay the lines.  The other work required you to just drop your head and do the work, now the most difficult part of the task laying straight lines for our tennis players.  I think I might have a nightmare or two tonight before we begin to set the lines tomorrow. 

From where we were on the 6th of May during the process of removing the dead clay.

To where we are today after the courts have been reconditioned.  Vince and Drew still have some rolling and grooming to do on the courts once the lines are laid but I feel pretty good about how the courts look and feel at this point.  Of course this is coming from a non-tennis guys so I'll hold judgement for a few days until the guys have had a chance to check them out.

A teaser picture with the first line laid out and waiting to be nailed in place in the morning.
