| The crane lifts it high over the tree and swings it round into the correct position. This first one weighs 6 tonnes. | First section in place. | Second section is lowered onto the base. Notice the 2 wooden strengthening struts on either side that will be removed just before the sections are joined together. | ||||||

The workers on the ground pull the cords to swing the section round the right way. |
Almost on the ground. |
Here you can see how the crane is lifted off its wheels and stands firmly on 4 jacks. |

| The classroom at the end of the day, when the structure has been securely fastened together, and the roof sealed to prevent the rain getting in. Now there are lots of things to do inside, like connecting all the wiring and the plumbing. |
