putting stakes in the ground

I’d be happy to be your sidekick for that sort of mission :slight_smile: 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. :wink: 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?

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:

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 :slight_smile:

I’ll be with a stand on a brocante this Sunday, so unfortunately cannot help out.
Of course I’ll think of you

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…

:slight_smile:

@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 …
