Day 19 - Eamonn Kelly

Wow what a great day, after a failed attempt yesterday the monster of a tyre swing has been erected. The morning was spent widening the holes significantly to accommodate the supporting legs. Although we came across a pipe in one of the holes it did not stop proceedings as I was determined to get the tyre swing in the ground today. After lunch all 9 of us got involved in positioning the frame with the assistance of the farmer and his tractor. In order to get the correct angle to bolt the legs on, we needed to raise the frame over 2m keeping it horizontal. Once the legs were attached the frame was lowered into position. It was a great feeling to see it positioned and ready for concrete. As time was running late we only managed to concrete one of the holes. At the same time Lindsay and Jesse had prepared the abacus ready for concrete and so the first part of the Interactive wall was put in place. Successful day rewarded with a nice cold Belikin beer after work!
