Assembling the outside of the structure

To erect the structure would have been a relatively simple process, had it not been made difficult by the material. Due to the weight of the chipboard, the boards had to be fixed together in pairs by four sets of hinges, whilst lying face down on the floor. From this point they could then be lifted upright, with one edge angled at 90 degrees for support, before being dragged into shape and reattached with one person standing behind the boards, holding them in shape. Without clear floor measurements marked out, which was a very silly oversight, it was difficult to correctly position the boards as a circle; due to the hinges when one board was moved an adjacent one and in turn the one next to that would also move out of place. The lesson of today is positioning before fixing.
