Next we were off to Placemakers (Know How Can Do) on Clarence Street to purchase the wood. Cliff and Bob from Placemakers were great. They looked at our designs and cut the wood to size for us. They also got the screws, bolts and drill bits we needed to complete the job. Then Val the manager said that they would donate all the materials. We were surprised but very grateful. We said thank you very much and then sung them some songs.
Last week we headed to Melville Intermediate School to use their Wood work rooms. Matiu Pete helped us with the cutting of the slots and grooves while the students got to use the belt sander and the orbital sander to take off the rough edges.
This week we have begun work on laying the pavers for the base of our scooter stand. Mr Braybrook is going to help students tomorrow to dig the pavers into the ground.
Everything seems to be going to plan. Thanks so much to everybody who has helped to make this project come together.
