“Everything that has a beginning, has an end.”

This applies to crappy Matrix movies as well as other things.
Right around the time that the local gym was completing their new bouldering area, we got a letter from the building owner where we were sub-sub-sub-leasing our space. There was a new tenant coming in; they wanted the whole floor, and we had to vacate. Luckily, we were able to sell all our holds to the gym, and just in time for a big climbing competition. It worked out perfectly for me, because with the new area open, there was much less reason to go to the co-op, but I certainly didn’t want to back out, because I still went in to campus on occasion, and also didn’t want to leave the remaining folks with a larger share of the rent.
So, last night was the first big night of trying to tear down the wall, which was highly over-engineered when we first put it in. All the nasty cummy mattresses were moved before I even got there, but we managed to get all but one piece of the plywood off, as it had like 4 stripped screws in it, and then called it a night.
