| so, my two good friends matto and adam have the day off school tomorrow, and we're gonna start building this: Images made in google sketchup. Gonna cost around 40 quid, looks like its gonna be epic fun though! all wood except the quarter, gonna make that out of card. Obvs granite ledge will be a granite tile, and grass stuff will be that fake grass you can get. Big open space is for my ledges/polebank/etc that I have, space to use them so I can put what ever I feel like there, maybe even a kicker to gap over the rope gap etc thoughts? |

I have nothing to cut granite with, and they sell 10x10cm granite tiles on ebay for 99p shipped, so I'm just using one of them, thats all the granite I can get so, yea, its a perfect square, but, should still be fun ^___^ |

| heres what gone today. Made legs for it, but, they collapsed >_< Good then I ended up buying twice the amount of leg wood that I needed by accident (it was silly cheap : o) gonna build a really strong support for it soon, not tomorrow as my mum is coming to visit, probs wednesday though ^____^ I had to use a lot of tape, nails and glue didn't work as well as I wanted/weren't possible for most of it, but, its fun to sesh, really fun. Heres what I made so far: Might look unprofessional, but, its what I wanted it to turn out like pretty much! The hubba isn't too short btw, it'll be sick when its got granite on it! Thankyou everyone for your ideas on that, but, that'd cost wayy more money than I have, haha. I have £1 left of my budget for this park, and, the tile is 99p, so I'ma order it in a bit ^_^ |

| Made the supports! Painted the bottom sides, they're gonna have brick lines drawn into them when they're dry. The raised section will be painted white, but the 'floor' will stay wood. Changed the crappy cardboard + shoelace rope gap to a fence made of wood. Added a grass gap and put my first ever wood deck (close up g2), that snapped, in the grass. Saw someone on FFI (sam aronie or something like that?, he does loads of cool graphics by what I can see) made a plaza ages ago and put a snapped deck in a grass gap, I think it looks amazing. So credit to him for that idea. Marble tile turned up in the post, but wasn't square and more importantly was broken in half >_< so I complained and the guy said he'd send me another one, and that he'd try to make it as square as possible Sooooooo stoked on how it turned out! It looks really professional I think! And its not even finished, when its painted and you can't see the tape any more, it'll be amazing! Its soo fun to sesh! Can't wait to try the marble ledge : o thoughts guys? How close do you think I am to my original plan? I think I managed to make it really close, well pleased with myself, I never imagined I'd make anything even remotely this good! |
