    When did you build your wall?
    I built my wall around March 30th.

    How long did it take you to build?
    It took me 3 days to build the first wall because my basement has cement walls so I made it floating. The second (slab) wall was much easier because we used cement anchors. So with painting it took about 3 days.

    Not including holds and padding, how much did it cost you to build?
    About $500 total.

    Did anything in particular inspire your wall design?
    Tape art inspired my second wall.

    What was the most difficult aspect of the design and build?
    The most difficult aspect was building the first wall without an impact driver.

    What would you do differently?
    Get an impact driver.

    What is your favorite aspect?
    My favorite part is that I can set moves that are challenging for me as well as fun.

    Any words of wisdom to aspiring homewallers?
    It’s worth it.
