I’d be happy to be your sidekick for that sort of mission
It would actually be super interesting to see the dimensions of the buildings clearly at this point…
@ChrisM here we are. What is needed:
- rough floor plans floor 1, latest version
- measuring tape (+10m)
- 1m high (?) poles with sharp ends (at least 10, maybe 15) - recycling ideas?
- hammer or heavy object
- police tape to connect the dots
Maybe too ambitious, indicate the height of the building somehow?
Let’s do this a few days ahead of time. A weekend day?
If it’s in the weekend, I might want to join!
Don’t we also have to cut a lot of green in order to be able to make straight lines (and make them visible)?
Yes, indeed, but let’s stay pragmatic. It’s only performative.
Who has cutting tools?
Ask @TamaraFoubert for the chainsaw (needs power though).
Also, worth immortalizing? Does anyone have a drone? I remember @Dave_Starhawk used to have one.
It’s not really a chainsaw, but a tree saw (not cordless). We have no cordless electric saws.
I do have several hammers, including a wooden one for poles. And I have tape measures.
Does anyone have access to a generator?
@Sterre @ChrisM @TamaraFoubert @Dave_Starhawk
Hi, here’s an update of what is needed:
- axe to sharpen the wooden stakes
- bright rope/tape to connect the stakes
- a way of cutting down the bushes (Tamara has manual saw)
- a drone (Dave?)
This is what we already have:
- rough floor plans floor 0 (Joannes)
- wooden stakes (but blunt, thus the above axe) (Joannes)
- tape measure (Tamara)
- hammer (Tamara)
It would be so nice if Yves would have cleared the site for the event.
Who is up to help here? Here’s a poll:
- Sat 12 Sep 14-17h
- Sat 12 Sep 16-19h
- Sun 13 Sep 14-17h
- Sun 13 Sep 16-19h
- I cannot make it but I’ll think of you
I also have an axe for sharpening stakes
I expect we can pick up big rolls of this from Brico quite cheaply
I have some big clippers. I also have a bow saw, which I think is stored in Sophie and Manoj’s basement… I’ll have a look for it ![]()
I’ll be with a stand on a brocante this Sunday, so unfortunately cannot help out.
Of course I’ll think of you
We also have big clippers. When are we meeting?
Let’s meet Sunday 13 Sep at 14h.
All good for Sunday at 14h!
I have a key for the site…
@joannes – have you found any boundary marking tape? It exists at Brico, but only by delivery (as far as I can see). If we order some now, we can get it next week. It won’t stop us putting all the stakes in on Sunday, as the taping part is a 10-minute job…

@ChrisM not yet. Can you order?
@alberto @ChrisM I have the stakes (metal rods) 300m of tape and a measuring tool. Mostly necessary now: tools to clear the shrubs.
We will bring the clippers for sure, and the tree saw if someone has a battery pack that provides 230V.
Battery pack not available …
