We want to try putting in pulleys in our couch architecture area, so that roof tops can be raised and lowered at will, but i think i need to install a proper hook (as opposed to all our plant hooks) because i fear there will be some serious hefting going on...this time next week? there will be pulleys...<br /><br />last year we had a pulley project going on, but the pulley was hung by children so low that teachers kept bashing their head on it. yours looks much safer...pamela wallberghttp://www.reggiovancouver.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-54144097583838256332010-05-13T16:47:19.004-07:002010-05-13T16:47:19.004-07:00Pulleys!

But, when there is a will there is a way. In the meantime, I'll just look at your pics and get my fix!Marla McLean, Atelieristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788200495569027489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-5557936512143824582010-05-13T14:25:15.787-07:002010-05-13T14:25:15.787-07:00Tom do have spies out on us or something? First yo...Tom do have spies out on us or something? First you beat us to the water wall ... by just a few days, now the pulleys! Sherry is off to 'Bunnings' this very morning to buy a pulley system that we (that's ME) are going to install from our large sand pit to a smaller one we have just established inside our giant tractor tyre, near the climbing equipment. We've wanted a pulley for ever and the new sand pit is the perfect excuse (if we ever needed one) to instal one ...now just so you know, after the pulley system we're thinking maybe a teepee is in order ... just in case your spies start slacking off!<br />Donna :) :)Play for Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475920387209134195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-84778430674019485532010-05-13T06:51:11.632-07:002010-05-13T06:51:11.632-07:00Your outdoor classroom keeps developing - at this ...Your outdoor classroom keeps developing - at this rate, one day I suspect that I'll read you do all your teaching outside, abandoning the indoor classroom altogether!

Of course, we avoid having the sharp ends of nails exposed, but splinters are one of the ways we learn about wood. I wouldn't be able to teach in a place that forbade splinters! Everything would have to be plastic, padded and, well, so unlike the real world that I don't know how useful stuff the kids would learn . . .Teacher Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606781724784785338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-21705820359288256752010-05-13T06:25:00.155-07:002010-05-13T06:25:00.155-07:00I love your outdoor space, but I have to ask: How...I love your outdoor space, but I have to ask: How do you get away with some of the stuff you have out there? Our state licensing rep would have a fit if she found exposed nails, splintered wood, etc. in our play yard. Just curious!Betsyhttp://www.hopmeadownurseryschool.orgnoreply@blogger.com
