| Locals helping transport the 6m timbers weighing 125kg |
After yet another long day and late night last night at the computer modeling, me and Ollie finalized the stage design, worked out the timber lengths required and put the timber order in today. Hurrah!
We had a few missions around town to do before catching the bus. Lindsay drove us round, we collected plywood for the blackboard and to make boxes for the knots and crosses, various bolts for the tyre-swing and picked up some other tools and put in another order for rope (for the tyre-climb) and more of the larger bolts. It’s a public holiday on Monday, so had a little more to organize today.
Ollie, Lindsay and I made it to school for lunchtime to find the others had put 3 more posts in the ground for the tyre-assault. Eammon was working on the 6m length timber in the farmers workshop, measuring up the lengths and drilling holes for the bolts to attach them. That is one HEAVY piece of equipment. The farmer has kindly offered to help us with his hydraulic arm on his tractor when it comes to raising it, hopefully on Tuesday.
We need to pick up some timbers tomorrow morning (Saturday) as the timber yard will also be closed on Monday, and we really need more timber on-site to allow the pace to pick up and to really see the playground take shape.
