Tuesday 24th July 2012 The scorching weather continues. Long may it last! |
I made good progress yesterday, ending the day with a very satisfying colonnade of nine hoops. But when I looked in the stables most of the giant Meccano set was still there!
It's becoming apparent that Wednesday's deadline will need a minor miracle. Not to worry though, the forecast has this glorious weather lasting till at least Thursday, when the wind dies down - perfect for cover day.
After two days, at last things are taking shape. I got the last hoop up late yesterday, too late for a photo. |
Next step: The central ridge. |
Straw bales make an excellent work platform. |
Stabilising corner bars and the top door rail attached. The parasol is to keep the metsal parts cool. At one point they got too hot to pick up! |
Now for the crop bars. Not a necessity, but useful for hanging things from and attaching things to. Also provide extra strength. |
A well-deserved beer after another very long, very hot day of Giant Meccano. |
