It is hoped that this will become a regular STEM project for the local area.]]> 2019-06-21 11:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/badaskmaths/j8uozb35p7ld/wish/368631998 badaskmaths https://padlet.com/badaskmaths/j8uozb35p7ld/wish/378248022 It was known that buying the parts in the UK meant that the parts would have to fit into the car. So by divine wisdom and with the list of parts,  the parts will be brought in Italy.
This turned out to be a bad mistake.]]> 2019-08-29 12:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/badaskmaths/j8uozb35p7ld/wish/378248022 badaskmaths https://padlet.com/badaskmaths/j8uozb35p7ld/wish/399465279 Where the telescope is being built there are no large DIY stores, so sourcing parts became a hunter gatherer experience. Three of the four poles were completed. The fourth is now work for next year.
But, to get the pipes, you would think 'go to a plumbing shop'. Not in Italy, you go to the electric light shop! Armed with the pipes, now to get the nuts and bolts. The local hardware shop only had enough for three of the poles.]]> 2019-10-18 11:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/badaskmaths/j8uozb35p7ld/wish/399465279 badaskmaths https://padlet.com/badaskmaths/j8uozb35p7ld/wish/399467848 Not being able to complete the fourth pole an executive decision had to be made. ]]> 2019-10-18 11:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/badaskmaths/j8uozb35p7ld/wish/399467848 badaskmaths https://padlet.com/badaskmaths/j8uozb35p7ld/wish/399468603 Good local food and wine on the door step with blue sea and sun.
