A few more days to go and for the first time I actually think I’m going to manage to finish it all in time for the opening!
The estate is really coming to life. New people and bits and peices of art keep popping up all over the place and each one is exciting to look at. I can’t make my mind up whether to wander round now or to save it all for saturday.
I feel so priveleged to be part of this amazing project and despite the occasional ridiculously frustrating day I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Its hard to envisage all the difficulties before hand and so I had several days where I wished i was born with 4 pairs of arms, at least two of those much longer than the rest, and a variety of thicknesses would also be handy!
I’ve been lucky enough to have a fair amount of help from my mates, on some days there’s been a busy production line of whittlers, and painters preparing all the spikes so I can continue to install them upstairs. I’m not so sure I could’va managed without them!
Only 3 full days work ahead!
