Tomek and I had a 12 day boring/digging 1200mm holes. Then another long day painting the bottom 1500mm with some bitumen based gunk. Then we missed all the fun (and any photos) of them being 'planted'. Not to miss out on any more fun we did get to shovel concrete into the holes though! Our very own wood henge!
The beam system having been made almost a year ago on the ground is painstakingly placed piece by piece on the posts. This involved scribing the shape of the beam onto the post and then cutting out the exact scalloped shape.........yep it took C&G a while (understandably)!
Craig and Greg made some 'Dr Seus' style scaffold to save on hire costs whilst Ella lounged around
The poles are drawknifed from their initial rough condition to expose their true colour and grain. On average 1 pole/day and so far 50 poles (and probably still more!). These are for the cross bracing so they have been chainsawed into more of a sleeper profile.
Linseed & Vege turps brings out the shine and the only conditioning they will receive. Phew an easy quick job at last.......er until we started paimting the whole beam system with it
