Well, we still have all of those things, but in the last two days, structure has sprung from the ground. One rickety column became two, then four, and by the start of play today we had 12 columns supported by a lot of temporary timber protruding from the ground.<br /><br />Today’s exercise was one of precision, as we adjusted all of the irregular sycamore and oak columns to line through with each other, and began to attach what will be the composite beams along their lengths. The pictures below show many, many timbers which will be eventually<br />removed, but the structure itself is really starting to take shape.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoKXYgRAqh_fJ75IqS467s00gYG7n7gQFZgRSgGgJHpsDPwL3YpLjntCJvmy_P7RQWyOQRlbF-IEEOAS7sZL4yPp8H_b9Becp3yFqqQSdrxR_Cv3aWQr4gmjiWbs0JeVz_RkGSCA5TTaY/s1600-h/PB010091.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263789808159461170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoKXYgRAqh_fJ75IqS467s00gYG7n7gQFZgRSgGgJHpsDPwL3YpLjntCJvmy_P7RQWyOQRlbF-IEEOAS7sZL4yPp8H_b9Becp3yFqqQSdrxR_Cv3aWQr4gmjiWbs0JeVz_RkGSCA5TTaY/s320/PB010091.JPG" border="0" /></a>One side of irregular timber columns, picture taken from a height.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggyR3sHBTgamUariapfIP1SAmTWPumbN0YW3lDDvVxD9LlgwqQOEttw9sDvvTLnrPETyuiyK8_RDEt5gFPxeo__NL-4TUmMK6pf_fVWF2pQsEDIUrpz_xeiKNGM1mRXafxGrLo3HevCJs/s1600-h/PB010089.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263789802052893810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggyR3sHBTgamUariapfIP1SAmTWPumbN0YW3lDDvVxD9LlgwqQOEttw9sDvvTLnrPETyuiyK8_RDEt5gFPxeo__NL-4TUmMK6pf_fVWF2pQsEDIUrpz_xeiKNGM1mRXafxGrLo3HevCJs/s320/PB010089.JPG" border="0" /></a>Beam along the long sides are attached, marking out where the roofline will eventually fall. </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQI2HJbYN9KNE58dUhZ3f_mpEvnXO29fPCiE0VQq2TVHhogrBPhCfhhDYcpaZDrjb9F_yeBtJXjIlrc3V8VwEo6sguaWDbP8O1tQg__UQ8Gn22yWzkkdrOq79jDXE9qeuBLUfVx-5yl0/s1600-h/PB010102.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263789793644749058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQI2HJbYN9KNE58dUhZ3f_mpEvnXO29fPCiE0VQq2TVHhogrBPhCfhhDYcpaZDrjb9F_yeBtJXjIlrc3V8VwEo6sguaWDbP8O1tQg__UQ8Gn22yWzkkdrOq79jDXE9qeuBLUfVx-5yl0/s320/PB010102.JPG" border="0" /></a> Temporary beams are everywhere, but they form a vital purpose.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0J0mdLV1freGMYZH5rK6QqOHGgsNhk5W3MAYrDzEcylDSaQxylsVns8N3xAHjOATouKUxsFdgUaIFGibj0FX_ff80eee3nL9s4oHycgmcA7uJFYY5uLGEVW_JoNfb5NM1t7nQeLxIYR4/s1600-h/PB010107.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263789783811905250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0J0mdLV1freGMYZH5rK6QqOHGgsNhk5W3MAYrDzEcylDSaQxylsVns8N3xAHjOATouKUxsFdgUaIFGibj0FX_ff80eee3nL9s4oHycgmcA7uJFYY5uLGEVW_JoNfb5NM1t7nQeLxIYR4/s320/PB010107.JPG" border="0" /></a> The structure is beginning to make its presense, with the surrounding trees beautifully intruding through the walls and roof.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBgmD2ahgNW5QFGLxVKHHiIaLdEZDA3BvR3r19wBfWEtW6h0mqSnq2ZteEQsd-BUI2EcAoePkNHJiUxkZXmeWFWaSGPhvkeXZsagOdXRAV86hArJ_uGFQrqOyHhzbuQsvSwtbaA1PWFH8/s1600-h/PB010108.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263789771242290786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBgmD2ahgNW5QFGLxVKHHiIaLdEZDA3BvR3r19wBfWEtW6h0mqSnq2ZteEQsd-BUI2EcAoePkNHJiUxkZXmeWFWaSGPhvkeXZsagOdXRAV86hArJ_uGFQrqOyHhzbuQsvSwtbaA1PWFH8/s320/PB010108.JPG" border="0" /></a> As night began to fall, we had begun to lay the concrete pinned foundations, covered here with wet hessian to aid the concrete in gaining strength.</div><div> </div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>TimCarterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05871768523206812886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083464629724054962.post-33590284202651651372008-10-30T16:11:00.000-07:002008-10-30T16:26:13.727-07:00Wet Wet Wet<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZZulwZUIu9XVYKYR6Ja3Keyeqt1k8xNBqQVpYr4j5xPLbgTeHzN5egMpXIRCaNWQqUbsxO9v5v_PeAWqBTl96C1GzbwJYmdADwDM8s-fbEMvRTdCfcL-flaC8Mx6n8CT114pyXoCO6M/s1600-h/CLOSEUP.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 203px; height: 210px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZZulwZUIu9XVYKYR6Ja3Keyeqt1k8xNBqQVpYr4j5xPLbgTeHzN5egMpXIRCaNWQqUbsxO9v5v_PeAWqBTl96C1GzbwJYmdADwDM8s-fbEMvRTdCfcL-flaC8Mx6n8CT114pyXoCO6M/s400/CLOSEUP.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263088617935957490" border="0" /></a><br />Lets be honest here, not everyday is a Sunday. We had a pretty frustrating day today no thanks to the weather. Probably the worst day so far ever since we started on site, weather wise. The day started off ok with Pete and Steve finishing off the step they were making. Jo and Willie finally finished the platform after technical delays (shortage of screw fixings). Olly, Abbie and Tim were on a road trip to get more materials. Chris and Kyle were working on getting the fixings onto the columns. Aditi followed Tom into the woods to get some round sections of dead oak. Caitrina carried on with polishing off some of the poles making them look sweeter....<br /><br />And then the weather took a turn and started pouring. Things we had to do during the afternoon:<br />1. Get platform on site which involved 8 people. (in the rain)<br />2. Trying to figure out a way to get columns fixed. (in the rain)<br />3. Sorting out timber for the floor decking, storage unit. (in the rain)<br />4. Debarking poles ( in the rain)<br />5. Digging, digging and more digging (you get the idea)<br />6. Transfering oak round sections from woods to site (yup, no change here)<br /><br />Not all bad news though. Thanks to Jo and her sources we now have sufficient timber to finish the decking by Monday hopefully. The road trip guys managed to get our concrete and ply and other materials. And the best thing of all, we're all still going strong. (tomorrow onwards, T&C applies)<br /><br />Fun competition for today.

I saw the sun rising as I rushed down to meet the group in the arts tower at 7.45am. We were preparing for a design review with Prue on site, followed by another design review with Ted, Scott and Sarah. The meetings were very productive and we established a design which we will take forward and develop further. The meeting also raised a few questions as to the extent of enclosure required, with Sarah pushing for a design with a large degree of enclosure and shelter. We must answer the question, are we to design and construct an outdoor classroom or as Sarah would prefer, an indoor classroom outdoors? What is an outdoor classroom.....</p><p align="center"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoDifLmgMfOvazklWj0Yn4NOuR5RMIUuEJn1CLwM8xfBftQyyiamI5acNwkpCL57HGwZJrB8hfRyEP77plA_4QO9Gp01txsOMNfJDtCsujfMsiDcEm4afunoGbuBeCUW_xBvrAtwDgeG0/s320/DSC09409.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258964216078648754" /></p><p>In the afternoon we went down to a designated area in the woods and started felling trees.

The project is complicated in so many ways, mostly because of the wood which we have available, and the limitation on our own timber skills.<br /><br />We hope to begin construction on our currently unfinished design this week, and create the project through more of a 'design and build' method. Keep checking this blog for pictures of our hopefully health and safety conscious construction phase. For now, i'll upload some photos of the site as it stands at the moment...TimCarterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05871768523206812886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083464629724054962.post-36097528834880131722008-10-12T13:13:00.000-07:002008-10-12T13:16:46.335-07:00Our project so farIt occurs to me that we, group 8, are being a bit lax with the blog for our ‘Outdoor Classroom’ project, and whilst other groups have flowing blogs, ours looks derelict and untouched, which wouldn’t be far from the truth. It’s a bit of an injustice really, especially considering the potential that this project has.<br /><br />The first 2 weeks have been very up and down. It has been almost impossible to get a hold of our client to question the brief, which has delayed many aspects, particularly the conceptual design and development, as we have had nothing to inform the direction from which we tackle the design, and the information which we had been given was partially incorrect – the bit about the purpose of the structure!<br /><br />It took us until the middle of the 2nd week to be able to clarify from the client, Sarah Blackwell exactly what she wanted, and to say that her aims were ambitious would be an understatement. Sarah pretty much wants a lockable building with heating, water, solar powered electricity, toilets, preparation areas, but doesn’t really expect us to be able to do much. There’s nothing like have the confidence of the client!<br /><br />We had a meeting at the end of week 2 with Ted Talbot, who refers to himself as the client’s agent and works for Sheffield City Council. This meeting kind of threw our plans into disarray, with news that we would have to fell trees and create wood sections to predetermined sizes before we have even come up with a design. It’s not ideal in anyway, but at this moment in time, I remain optimistic that we can create a beautiful and lasting structure on site which meets Ted’s vision for the Sawmill and at least some of Sarah’s requirements.<br /><br />Check back for a steady flow of information, with pictures to be posted soon!TimCarterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05871768523206812886noreply@blogger.com0
