A Soldier's Tale Construction Journal: Day 2

So the second day started much the same as the first day finished. Richard and Rose kept working on the pros, and I just plodded along making my pallets. Richard was determined to get finished quickly as he wanted to leave at 2:30pm. 

Pros coming into shape

Hand sawing the pallets into shape. 

It is finished!

 
Richard showed me how to tie the structure together once it was in place in the Pavillion, simply using super screws to stitch the sections together, and attaching the brace, marked into position where it will be parallel with the floor that will also hold the curtail rail. 

All my lovely pallets laid out in sequence

Putting the floor for the stage down ready for painting

I cut Rose's blue foam to size. Because I am awesome.

Grace being useful!

So after Richard left us, we had the help of Ellen and Grace to get everything ready for Debs who is coming in tomorrow to paint the set. The floor has all bee covered in polythene sheets to protect the floor from paint. We cut all the poly block to size and the floor laid out and drawn ready to paint. I have also been given the keys for the site so I am in charge! I do love a bit of responsibility. Definately need to layer up more tomorrow, it's getting colder.
