Exciting news! We have finaly heard back from the city about our neighbourhood plans to put a permanent BBQ into the park.  This is exciting for me, because after a year of pushing and emailing, and jumping through hoops, I was beginning to believe that it was never going to happen.

So, now we have permission from the city to begin fabrication. That means no going back – they can’t change their minds once we’ve spent money of building it. It also means that the onus is now on us, the community, to move the project forward. After so long, this is an interesting turn of events. Also it means (hopefully) that I get to do some cool welding now.

We need to make a number of decisions now.  What material do we use (what can we afford). How do we design it? How do we anchor it? How do we make sure the neighbourhood teenagers don’t break it n the first 2 weeks.  So much to do!
