Default Post your indoor crawler spots!

I was curious if anyone else out there has any indoor crawling spots in their homes? Is your wife as awesome as mine and doesn't care if you bring a ton of rocks into the basement? I wanted to see some pics for ideas

Might I suggest making a course on a 4x8 sheet of plywood for ease of moving. I used various cardboard boxes and chicken wire and some old sheets, towels and t-shirts. Then add a 25 dollar can of fiberglass resin from the hardware store. The towels and t-shirts give a rougher surface and the sheets make for some good fake slick rock.

The firberclass resin is a great idea I think! I was looking at Axial's howto, but the total cost is way too much money using the bed liner material.
