First of all, many thanks to everyone who left clicks and comments on my Courgette upload yesterday.
Many many thanks to netta for her User Award

On Monday the portacabins arrived to assemble the temporary Nursery at school.
I have many many photos to sort through, but here's a little sequence that reminds me of the Little Engine who wasn't sure if he could get up and over the hill - finally he makes it SmileSmile
v4 is a view of the crane - it was very hard to get it all into most of my pictures WinkWink
You can also see from v4 how dark and wet it was at the beginning of the morning before work got under way

Thanks for looking

Helen

Not just good reportage, Helen, but everything's come together so well photographically in this sequence! The light, the sky, the angle, and of course your photography Smile

I love that shiny chimney thingee. Mick's gonna shoot me a disgusted look for saying so Grin

I wouldn't have liked to have been the crane driver! Far too close for comfort. Nicely taken Helen - you must have had a steady hand to witness this and squeeze the button at the same time! Smile Excellent reportage.

I stood watching one of these cranes yesterday while Ken was parking the car and hoped to goodness that the driver was an expert - he seemed to be v ery close to the parked vehicles. This set a good example of their expert handling skills. V4 is a cracker (as Andy would say)SmileGrin
Joan.

good reportage on the goings on at then temp and new nursery will all add to a fine collection in the new reception area.

Good to see the continuing story.V4 is a stand alone appealing image
with the yellow crane on a diagonal against that blue sky.

One of the biggest expenses in building work Helen,
is the hire of these large cranes.
No problem for them with a bit of rain,
but a high wind is !!
Good set.

Thanks Andrew - you know I never thought anyone would be interested in v4 - I was really chuffed to get it all in, and delighted that there has been a response to it SmileSmileSmile

Thanks Netta and Lillian - there are more to come and I didn't get to see each one "land", as the amount of adjusting on the footings was very time consuming, and I was trying to capture the demolition at the other end of the playground at the same time Smile

It's amazing how they manage to lift these things into confined spaces.
Very well done, I really struggled with the cranes at our building site. They move remarkably fast!
