Timing
March, April - Area Preparation, Shed, clean up, drawings,
April, May, June - Stone Trees
July, August, September - Mosaic and Tile Sections
June July August and September we will predetermine work days that will remain consistent. These days Cathy, Priscilla and core volunteers will be working on site for several hours. Times and dates will be advertised and community members are invited work on these days.
The order of application is this:
• Repairs to the surface, steel support bracing, a cinder block structure in one section,
• Drawings on the surface in chalk, an out line that defines the areas to be filled in with stone mosaic and tile
• Create stone trees, move stone to site, purchase thin set mortar and acquire tools
• Define areas of mosaic by outline with black stone and black tile
• Begin Mosaic and tile sections.
• Lanscaping and Planting
• Signage: big clear list of participants to the best of our ability, Thank yous. discription of areas that different groups have helped with, i.e. Lyons Elementary, spring 2009, Summer time tree on South side, etc.
• Future, would like to see a pebble mosaic path encircling the whole thing...
• A pronounced "Lip" or roof over the edge to protect the surface from the elements.
Materials we still need to purchase or Make:
Bright colored tile. Need large areas of color
We need to maintain a strong sense of contrast, otherwise the whole thing will tend towards being monochromatic and difficult to read.
Stone Paul at Western stone is willing to give us a "good deal" on what is called rip rap. rubble that will be used to make the trees. we will have a day of picking through the stone and moving stone to the sight.
Sun: This will be either created by the seniors or a mosaic that represents the seniors on the west side of the building as you walk east on the path it is the big flat wall that faces you. We still would like to make a tile sun with the seniors at walt self and install it in that part of the structure.
