Three Birthday Invitation Wording

Bridge of Friendship - Day 5: The north pylon is

Die Streifenhörnchen (Burunduks) wurden von Tag zu Tag kecker und bedienten sich bald selbst am Frühstückstisch - hier ein stibitzter Kecks. The Chipmunks (Burunduks) were bolder day by day and soon even served at the breakfast table - here's a pilfered Keck. Blick nach Süden - das Tarp des Pickniks liegt geschützt hinter den Dünen. looking south - the tarp of picnics is sheltered behind the dunes. Um am Pylon zu arbeiten, bauten wir eine große Anstellleiter aus Brettern. Christian verbindet hier gerade die Pfosten. work order at the pylon, we built a large Anstellleiter of boards. Christian links here just the posts.
08:07:06: Today should get the first pylon his form - the support structure on the north shore. The goal was to place it completely finished. Of course This day began again with a general awakening and laid-breakfast, at least for all who did not have kitchen duty. At our breakfast table found themselves guests that have been increasingly bold and courageous. There were chipmunks - Burunduks. They had already taken off their shyness to the extent that they even from the table where we sat, all sorts of goodies pilfered, bread crumbs or even whole biscuits. But at the waste pit, they secured themselves a lot of food.

order to work in the height of the posts, we need appropriate technology - quite simply a ladder. Since we did not, we had to build something in this way myself. Also, to the posts to safeguard against overturning a Verschwerterung with boards was required which would be later removed. For both, we need lumber, most boards and planks. As we had seen such material to the head of the sanatorium, we turned to Tanya at him. He helped us out willingly. Whatever we need, should we take.

Despite the generous offer we did not want to be wasteful with the material and designed the head (more of a Anstellgerüst) so that we could reuse the boards later to other parts of the bridge.

order the necessary work on the construction I had to take care of myself, so that the guide of parallel work, provided it did not Christian, some remained on the track. This led to some frequently idle and had settled in the shade, without any that struck. That should happen in the coming working days more often. Naturally any appeal in its sense of breaks to do nothing but simply because of the next step is unclear and not to report his problem is that I really did not like.

Der Grund am Nordufer ist sumpfig - daher auch die Balkenlage zum Aufnehmen des Druckes. Die Pfostenlöcher und Zwischenräume wurden mit Kieselsteinen und Sand vefüllt. The reason on the north shore is marshy - hence the floor joists for receiving the pressure. The post holes and gaps were vefüllt with pebbles and sand. Schon bald nachdem etwas sichtbar über den Boden ragte, stellten sich die ersten Neugierigen ein. Soon after sticking something visible on the ground, put the first few curious. Die Mädchen schleppten Unmengen Sand vom Strand zum Bauplatz - meistens in Plastikschüsseln. The girls hauled tons of sand from the beach to the building site - mostly in plastic bowls.
The estimated work was not really a big deal - apparently. It was finally only about four bars and two-three struts, which should be combined into one entity. But technologically, it was of course more complicated. The work took place in a confined space. For work at height, we had to stand on the ladder frame, which thanks to the generous Sizing up but could be two people. And the notches had to be revised several times to adjust when setting up. Someone worked on the scaffold with a hammer or other tool, I had the skeleton by someone - usually it was Oliver - secure and prohibited work in the field below. Once someone a hammer down too much, what the purpose of this measure made clear.

Christian obviously had fun, even to climb the scaffolding and carrying out various work at height, such as adjusting the notched beams and nailing of the steel bands. But I had one or the other work carried out at a dizzy height and was rising with the view of our construction site work.

At the bottom there were a number of smaller steps to perform, such as the connection of the posts, cross beams and joists with brackets, perforated plate and steel bands. The girls backfilled and compacted around the room to the joists, what they contain large amounts of sand and pebbles from the beach caused dragged.

was particularly busy that little Tanya, who was always working and did even unpleasant tasks such as painting the steel fittings.

Finally, we presented the first support structure completed on schedule and were able to forward to the next free day forward.
