Obstacle Number One in The Boardr TF: A Ledge and Manny Pad
Published 5/12/2014 by Rob Meronek
HiDefJoe has an edit from the first session and I've got a few construction photos from our first obstacle built in The Boardr TF. Thanks Jason Ranft for the manual labor. Zumiez also threw in on this one, so thanks to them for our first step towards an unempty warehouse.

It all starts with some small talk on the job site.
Yeah ho.
It could be a bed or a ledge box.
Gitter dunn, Jason Ranft.
Rebar keeps the concrete from cracking, or something like that.
Your standard issue construction photo with sparks flying.
That's the same concrete truck that was a the Dream Driveway recently. It barely fit through the door.
Today was one of the heaviest rain days in a long time. Good thing this pour is indoors.
Pour some concrete out for the homies.
Rock a 2x4 back and forth to flatten out the concrete pile.
Like icing on a cake.

An Official Bid'niss Milestone for The Boardr
11/19/2013
It's been a fun few months of building a company from scratch. Today, we set an accounting formality and officially started The Boardr payroll. The first four employees are Ryan Clements, Jorge Angel aka Porpe, Bob Freeman, and Rob Meronek behind the lens here. I wonder how long this is going to last? I would guess 2013 to infinity. Thank you for the support, thanks skateboarding for everything else, and here's to 2014! That other document Ryan is holding is another piece of important sentiment for us that I'll address in another post. I just wanted to have it in this memorable photo and early milestone.
Another Milestone at The Boardr: TF Construction Begins
4/30/2014
Now that we've got some time to stop and breathe from having one big event behind us (NYC) and another one just about complete (Vegas), we can finally start dedicating some attention to the homefront. Yep, it's another baby milestone for us here at The Boardr. Today starts construction on our TF! We're going slow and calculated as usual with this project, too. I don't know my physical construction tools very well, but I do know there are some things in this photo that indicate concrete. Damnnnn, it's on. Feels like we're finally getting furniture in an empty home. Right now all I have for you is this one single photo.
Another Milestone: We Shipped Our First Little Stack of Orders Today
2/4/2014
Inventory's in and stuff's online now. We ended our first weekend of being digitally open with a few orders for The Boardr T Shirt and some other random stuff. It was a memorable day for us. I'm just documenting it with a few quick snaps. This milestone seems like it has caused the work to just get started. Good thing it's mostly skateboarding work because that's a pretty good time. If your name was in that pile, thanks for the support.

There's so much going on here from events planning to systems work to physical buildout to financial stuff to skate park ideas that I can't even keep track of where I'm at and what I've documented.

Our tenants in the other half of our warehouse are now out so we can start figuring out what will work for our facility to play with our skateboards in.
