Buster is a gem in/for his community! I grew up on a lake in MN with a big gang of boys. Our hockey rink was used every day and never got resurfaced. After about a week it was chipped, bubbled, cracked and really uneven. When we got bigger our moms tried to resurface it with a hose using city water but that didn’t make it better. I’m surprised one of out Engineer dads didn’t make a zamboni. Hot water and thin even application are the key. There’s a YT vid of a boy in Toronto that DIY Zamboni his mini back yard rink with a bucket of hot water, a broken hockey stick, and a big hot wet towel. He mops the rink with it. If you search for it, it has “insane” in the title.
Can we talk how this guy is old enough to have adult grandchildren, and yet can still carry two 5-gallon buckets of water up the stairs, can talk while doing so and not be winded? What a boss!
So true! Buster lifts the buckets off the stove will wearing his skates and skate guards and pulling that full Zamboni 200 metres to the rink and then around the rink!
