Fellow architecture students joined the construction team on Saturday, to help with the next phases of the project. The paving area, was levelled, layed out and pegged, using a dumpy level and building line.
Steel sections donated by Maristeel were donated to site, stored and ready to be made into the shading structures. Shakes, the welder of the team explained what needed to be done to the steelwork, before it was ready to be welded primed and painted.
Part of the team, helped rake and clear the site of debris
Discussions of the most practical way to carry out the laying out of the paving, made us realize how important drawings are in this process and how they need to communicate practical implementation. We learned alot.
The rest of the team, brushed and sanded the post boxes furiously, to get red of the rust and prepare the surface for priming. That will need alot of hands.
It was a short and productive day that layed the ground work for the following week.
