Entry #07: 26th October 2010

We have had other course things on today so to make it easier we have been working on our own tasks so as to get as much done in the time that we did have.
Documentation and Fundraising 
Both groups have today been trying to source funding and sponsorship. This is so important as this money will pay for the final installment of timber cladding. We still need cash for fixings and for a few in house topics, petrol for example. 
We have been trying to contact anyone that we think would be interested in the current project, so we’ve literally been going door to door design in hand trying to drum up support, at the end of the day we will have raised awareness of the project if nothing else. 
Design and Construction 
We managed to source transport for the freshly cut A frames today, thank you Estates and Buildings! Without this we would have had to resort to our bare hands and lift each element individually - thankfully we have avoided this. So the frame is now in site, covered to keep it dry. 
The site team have set about marking out the footings and 7 out of the 8 concrete pads have been cast - just one final one left to do tomorrow.
We’ve had much less time today, but it has been very productive. Work has started on site, we are on schedule - we just need to find some more money so that we can get it finished - tomorrows task!
