i wrote before about some large timber deb and i have been working on. the week before the conference we had them moved from our workshop to the installation site.
it was a bit unnerving watching the crane lift the large timbers up over the cab of the crane
but it all went well and we had it all loaded in a couple hours.
a couple days after the conference we met on site to begin installation.
the site is on the coast in north glenelg, not a bad place to work.
we had the area we were installing the timbers dug up so they could be set into the ground.
at the same time as we installed the large timbers, the footings for the bench seats were getting started
and then poured. the benches to be installed later in the week.
the digger then helped lift and move each large timber piece into place.
we had a rough plan for the layout and worked well with the install guys making making it happen.
here you can see deb watching the digger get ready for the next set up.
lifting another large chuck of tree
setting it down in position
and checking for level
and along we went again and again until all the timbers were in place.

one of the workers testing out the long tree feature.
once we were happy with the layout, we had the units concreted into place.
once the concrete sets it will be covered with dirt and then set into the new landscaping with mulch and native planting all around it.
the council's plan was to have the rest of the area landscaped and planted out by the end of the week, so i will head back to site this week and check out the finished result and report back here soon.

So fun! A lot of the school here now have 'natural' areas that have been built into the playgrounds. They are awesome little areas that remind me of this but I like the colour that you added!
