A machine built to wash clothes is now resurfacing a Winnipeg family's backyard rink. Ron Theriault, right, and son Anthony Theriault resurface their outdoor rink with what used to be a washing machine. He used his trade skills to gut an old washing machine, attach skis to the bottom and install the necessary plumbing to repurpose the machine into an ice resurfacer. With the exception of clothes washing instructions on the side of the machine, one could mistake it for a miniature Zamboni used at Bell MTS Place.
