we need really thick wire, more like man size staples to pin the gutter down at points we drill holes for the wires at


Tent pegs or 6" round head nails, maybe?

We should really put a shout out for anyone with tent pegs to bring all they can.

tent pegs would work as a last resort, but they would leave the heads proud and that would break cars

we really need to sort out were the extra guttering is and when/how we can get it i think this is the most important thing now

Pegs with wire between them would work. The pegs could be below groud level.

Not sure where we could get more guttering from.

If we can hold of him I could go and get it on saturday. Not sure how it will fit in the car. Ricks estate would be better but I don't mind strapping it to my roof.

easiest solution for infating hose now has to be just bits of wood, woodscrewed together to close off each end, inflate, then trap the air with the second block i have a decent airbed pump that will work wonders

I take it all the prep work is next Saturday? I have a roof rack for the RAV4, might be of use for the cuttering if we find it. I should be able to spare a couple of hours next saturday, depending on the time you are all planning to get together.

something like 10 or 11 am?

we've found the guttering, and arranged a plan of sorts to get it to the school on saturday

i've got some line marking paint now
Johns going to bring the loop and a lawn edger to get that dug in


does anyone have a supply of stiff wire, coathanger wire would be idea, but not really practical, but that should give an idea of what we could do with

anyone want to volunteer to make a load of clamp blocks for the hose up? i'd guess at 6" wide, and need to hold the hose doubled over
