The Final Countdown

26 02 2009

Our final day of building begun with an epic feat of strength.  Gemma, Helen and Andy carried the reamaining timber for the chair legs up a full 17 storeys of the arts tower as it was too big to fit in the lift and the paternoster decided to break.

The day progressed with the seperating blocks being drilled and dowels being hammered in, and then with the layers being put together up until seat level.

It was also importnnt that we got the seats finished and the legs fitted and we worked very hard throughout the day and late into the afternoon to get these finished.

Jigsaw for the seats

With this major section of our structure completed on time and only the seats to be finished it was a very productive day, and hopefully tomorrow it will all stay together.

Finally we had to load what we had done into the lorry to be transported to barnsley. Tomorrow we will have to finish putting the structure together with all the seats in which means yet another early start as we have to be in barnsley and in our site by 9 to begin unpacking.
