week 17

This week we were puting the walls on the outside of the framing of the shed.
This wasn't an easy process, with ladders and mud flying everywhere,
I had the easy job, hammering the nails in the walls to hold them up.
By the end of thr day, we had all the outside walls installed on the shed
but no roof as yet.
Jamie was happy with the work completed.

week 16

This week was the opening of the japanese garden,
and the handing out of the horticulture certificates.
So we were under pressure to have the garden
fully completed on time, running around like rabbits you could say.
But the garden was completed in time, for us to wash our hands,
and be ready for the opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony was a chance to bring parents and or guardians
along to view the work of the garden.
Food and drink were provided.
I brought grandma along and she thought the garden was great.

I am drilling the holes to drive the nails into, to hold the corners of the wall together. The walls are for the garden shed on the living campus of H block.

I am marking out the 3 centeres of the podiums different levels. So i can attach some supports, to help hold the weight of the people who are going to use it.
The podium is been built for the cadbury jaffa race, and to add to the display to go in the meridian.







 

week 15

Today we went and took all the boxing off the base of the shed to expose the concrete.
Then we spent the rest of the day in the workshop completing the
final steps of the wall framing for the shed.
It was quite a scary process, taking the boxing off the concrete,
wondering If the concrete was set enough.

week 11

Today we went out to the Taieri Golf Course, where the Arborists were working.
They talked about what they were doing, and then showed us how they accessed the tree, then we got the chance to have a go, NO THANKYOU, was all I could say.

This was because I don't like heights, unless I'm on the payroll.

week 12 carpentry

this week we completed our toy trucks for the childrens hospital,
i had time to build another truck, so got that done in the time i had,
then oiled both and handed them to Jamie Todd ready to go over to the hospital.

1. the project was very successful with everyone completing atleast one toy for the
childrens hospital
2. my truck went well, with no hick ups, that was a pretty big mericle.
3. i would have liked to make a third truck but there was not enough kitsets available.
4. yes, because i got more than one built in the time.
5. everyone done a great job, and everyone made a toy.
