" Brent had a way it is with the company that manufactures these systems. And that you know it doesn't look like you're way out of the ground yet -- but you've got most of the really important work completed. I think we're making good progress. Who had a slow down yesterday with the rank yet but they would do pretty well if that's the effects of the downpour are there's a little bit of settling of these -- Major posts that are holding up and we're a little bit. Out of level right now. This one's probably gone down about half the incident you look down where the temporary support as you can see how that cut off got buried in the mud bog it down down pour yesterday. The last things we'll do problems and come around the chimneys up and -- everything on the mountain. Country before we for the country and the concrete truck is on site working at the other end so. Time is of the essence now. This isn't. This stair approach to what will be kind of like one of the turrets on the fort right this will be like a balcony platform so children can oversee the stage area yes and the turret roof goes on top right and then the -- leads into a ramp so that. Up to here at least that's it we'll hear about it. Yeah and then on through here onto the stage. Go right through here onto an entire stage all Kay writes a wheelchair could be brought right to the main stage this way that's what's curious to me is it that the ramp itself. Is. Well you referred to it as undulating. Yeah and what we call a wavy ramp aren't. And high spots most button -- and we confident that by putting wedges under the deck boards yes. Hewlett great yet and that provides a nice little variety in the ramp for the wheelchair right. It also I would think make it a little bit safer particularly Baghdad hose them down a little bit exactly yeah so. This then of course connects to the existing. The existing sidewalk area here. But the that the foundation for the octagon deck is tolerant here that's right well we have as we're doing the framing for the platform. And setting all the votes right now. Let's talk about this octagonal roof system that we've got behind you this is just stay out of plywood and I asked him -- budget joist work underneath -- orbit since there was more accidents and I was gonna be finished -- right now we're gonna use tar paper and cedar -- I have a crew working over here right now we're gonna -- a -- yet. All right so then the octagonal stage comes around this way and then on this area you get these these. Prefab benches -- they -- stage theater asking when it's it's don't know until the kiddies can be spectators -- what influence will continue fencing back here. Let's talk about. The roof for these aren't they thought that spirits Bob this is John kind hijacked American studies are not that we'll tell us how you're roofing this looks like red cedar. "
" Yes Bob there -- half inch red cedar shakes. And because of the octagonal shape you'll notice that we have a different application of the felt paper and that it's layered under each. Row of shingles so that gives it double protect it -- it. The cedar shakes after the split I understand we're not we're budding the shingles together we're not weaving memory or lacing them and then. -- having got the felt almost step flashing exact mind right."
" How many holes have been back here outside. A particularly about that the three or how many yards of concrete you figure out estimated about nine total me -- We're doing -- we felt confident in the -- about six different afraid to fly. Plant a real -- if if the resilient surfacing gets rubbed away from underneath -- doctors around the post and don't have a big. Concrete and you don't have any exposed concrete which can be injurious behaviors. You're exactly thank you have to worry about the pressure treated lumber being encased in concrete and having it rot out now from -- that and it won't be. No we're way below rustling. Right OK now what's this is going up over -- slanted climbing. A flat well I mean. But."
" The older children now. It looks like a -- started dancing on its side but they're there. Hockey -- big timbers there but gives a nice rough surface the user. He got the kids can actually we have this cable attached over the top yeah and then you come up like Batman and a sudden building. Right. There's a lot about imagination involved at all of these if they how do you attach it to the back of the brain that goes through the we use six cents zinc plated leg screws yeah. And it really."
" All right well there's nothing like having -- here thirty gauntlet today and analyzing."
" Tell me something what is. Treatment over here went into the side panels of our grinch. -- this bridge links the two areas of the playground at the castle these and these two are kind of like like the railing horses but they have that crenelated castle that's correct and these -- deck boards here for the floor."
