Giant do-it-yourself steps

Giant do-it-yourself steps


We live on the edge of a tiny village and somehow the idea was born to make such a shell for a village kid. We found a suitable place in the wasteland near the store (center!), Obtained the consent of the local administration.

What was needed for the manufacture and installation of the carousel
Tools, equipment, materials


Angle grinder with accessories, including goggles and earphones, another needed locksmith tool. A set of marking tools, a welding inverter with accessories, a good electric extension cord. Set for painting - paintwork, rags, brushes, wire brush for cleaning, dishes. Set of trench tool, ladder. Pieces of pipe ø 160 mm, pieces of channel, corner, front wheel hub from auto Ode, synthetic cable, thimbles, carbines. Materials tools and equipment for the preparation of concrete.

Rotating knot

First, I proceeded to the most complex part - the upper rotating unit. As much as possible, he cleaned up the stocked car hub, soaked the rusted fasteners with kerosene and unscrewed the excess. Stalled, cleaned.



The column consists of two pieces of pipes, each about 2 m long. The short section can be positioned vertically for easy top-down welding. He grabbed the hub in several places with short seams, then carefully boiled the entire seam.

Outside, on the sticking out glands and the tides of the hub, it was possible to pick up and adapt a thick plate-pad.



The carousel has four pendants for the ropes, one of them, an already finished ring - a regular protruding part of the hub. I made three more from pieces of a powerful corner with a muffled butt.
The most important mechanism was decided to protect with an umbrella. We made it of galvanized steel roofing. On an umbrella, cut out, marked the installation site and riveted with rivets, three racks. The umbrella assembly was welded to the top, the galvanized part was removed until better times, so as not to damage during further evolutions and transportation.



The finished unit was painted in two layers with enamel on rust.Yellow.

"Field work

The next stage - while the entire structure is in the form of relatively small elements, drag them with the tractor closer to the installation site.



Settled for assembly behind the fence of the neighbors closest to the future playground. They agreed to share electricity. Welded both parts of the carousel column.
Of all that was at our disposal, they composed the construction of the underground part.

Assembly

Having picked up a day dry, they cried out among the citizens - they needed an assistant to bring-hold. The assistant, however, stole up with the profession - the installer of metal structures and had to keep-wear your submissive.



The crosspiece was mounted on a column lying slightly raised on wooden stumps. They acted like this - they dragged one paw to a raised column, holding it, a paw, put it over the edge in weight to the right place. In several places, they made short seams-potholders, as the artists, after several strokes on the canvas, departed to admire. If necessary, the location of the parts (not enough "right" angle) was specified, scalded to death.



Paw No. 2 was mounted in the same way - we placed our T-shaped structure on a relatively high stump and put a second paw. Their mutual position was found experimentally, after several iterations. They grabbed, specified, scalded. In the photo - Ivan Emelyanovich with an open visor.



And finally, the braces. Using roulette and crayon, their seats were uniformly marked, grabbed, scalded. The edges of the brace loosely fitting to the pipe were molded as needed with a magic sledgehammer, but what about.



The sharp protruding edges of the braces, probably future protruding from the ground, cut and dull the sharp edges.

Underground Finishing



The underground part of the carousel will not be completely immersed in concrete, therefore, it requires protection against corrosion. We decided to paint it thoroughly. The channel on our paws is old, of various degrees of rust, but the braces from the corner are new, from the warehouse - the fly, as the movers said, was not engaged in rowing. We treated all this with a wire brush and in two layers with intermediate drying we painted it with rust enamel. The aerial part of the column was not painted, for fear of tearing it off with a tractor when rearranging it.

Installation

After preparing the metal part, we expanded our cruciform pit and reduced its depth to 70 cm. We persuaded the local tractor driver to do a good deed - dragged the finished carousel, put it in the pit.





At the bottom of the pit, large flat stones were laid so that the ends of the paws and the middle of the cross were hanging in the air. We are concreting these places. Before the concrete work, the carousel column was leveled up, laying stones in the right places.



For concreting, we dragged our semi-automatic concrete mixer. In the words of Semyon-Semyonitch Gorbunkov: “Far, but necessary!” Among other things, I did not have to pull the wires far to connect. Local girls asked for a twist. Persuaded.

They poured concrete from a large (cornerstone?) Stone at the ends of each paw. In combination with their considerable paws, length (large lever), the carousel is protected from overturning quite reliably.



When preparing concrete, an intermediate tank-trough was not used - the finished mixture fell out immediately into the pit, to the right place. I had to tinker with the installation and rearrangement of the concrete mixer exactly in the right places, but a lot of effort was saved on the intermediate reloading of concrete.

Under the central column and the nearest parts of the paws, also filled a large concrete pillow-support.
At the end of the day, when the hard concrete had already hardened somewhat, covered the castings with plastic wrap so that the removed dry sandy soil did not absorb excess moisture from the concrete and filled the pit - the weather turned out to be very wet, heavy rain was expected.

Final little things



Again, picking up the weather without rain, went down a small staircase, riveted the lid and painted the column. They painted as well as the underground part - in two layers with intermediate drying. Previously, everything that was possible was cleaned with a wire brush.Here, of course, we were re-cautioning - we should have painted everything together in a lying position, and the possible damage to the coating after transportation should be repaired from the stairs. However, the elevated height of our structure is not too great, they coped without difficulty.



A part of the braces protruding from the ground was blocked up with soil, so that no one would get stuck on a little one and just wrap up the bottom of the column with soft material just in case. They didn’t stint on the ropes, they acquired ropes of a fair thickness, so that they would not press on the ass. From above, to the metal holes of the rope are fastened through standard carbines, each rope bend is equipped with a thimble. All ends are fixed by nodes.



The widest ring on the rotating unit did not allow the carbine to be used in the same way as the other three; I had to use an additional ring.





Acknowledgments

We thank the indifferent residents of the village who somehow participated in the construction, Natasha and Andrei Kozlov - our business friends and Ilya Yuryevich Lykasov from "Technical Equipment", for the donated glands. Without your help, nothing would have happened.

Certainly a colleague, of course. And about attracting attention - someone very aptly said that fools are actually quite few, but they are noisy and active, because it seems that they are everywhere. Our case.
Babay_Mazay
decent, which, I note, is also everywhere
Decency is the norm, it does not attract as much attention as any "gondolierism" (God forgive me)! smile
Author
There are enough goats everywhere, this is an axiom. In addition to the innate human craving for all kinds of dirty tricks around, the era is also very suitable. This property is called, um, "active life position" or something like that. All the more valuable are decent people who, I note, also exist everywhere. But the gandoliers were unlucky ... (in half-voice - God gave the surname).
Valery
breeders and milkmaids ???
Well, I don’t know, but they say that the chicks are cool there, though there are enough goats! victory
Do you know anything about production in the island of Venice (population - 261,905 people

And that’s all - field farmers, livestock breeders and milkmaids ??? .. It cannot be! ))))
There are also all sorts of gandoliers! ))))
New Standard
To classify a settlement as a city, legislative registration is necessary. In Russia, a city must have at least 12 thousand inhabitants and at least 85% of the population employed outside agriculture, although this rule is sometimes violated.
According to the recommendations of the UN, a city with a population of more than 20 thousand people is considered to be a city
In the USA, cities include settlements with more than 2.5 thousand inhabitants, in the Netherlands - 20 thousand inhabitants, in Iceland - 200 inhabitants.
smile
New Standard
the city considered one in which a certain, large percentage of people are busy on production
Do you know anything about production in the island of Venice (population 261,905 people (December 31, 2016)? No? Me too! Then it's a big village! xaxa
Babay_Mazay "There is no asphalt, no club, no gas pipeline, no water supply and public sewage system, of course, either." I have no doubt that this is all you can make yourself too, but it’s better to connect the administration, so it's more fun. I also sometimes perform miracles of altruism, I once made a bridge in my grandmother’s village, everyone liked it, then wrote it so modestly on it, a bridge named after me)). Have you signed your carousel that you are a master?
Valery In Ukraine, the smallest city is Beaver (Bіbrka) from the word beaver, 3800 inhabitants live in it, with an area of ​​5 km2. But there are villages even with a large number of inhabitants and area, the city is considered one in which a certain, large percentage of people are engaged in production

Let not resent - this is a fresh shot only stylized. The artistic intent of the director (knixen) is this.
I know this classification. Once, even my grandfather, I remember, said that in Russia a village is only if there is a church. Here, I repeat, the word "village" came along with the Russian language. Russian - mainly in cities. In the villages remained his. (Not “Belarusian - People’s Commissar”, which sounds from the TV, but your talk in each locality)))). But everywhere the word "damp" (in some places "sialo", "force") is simply an analogue of the Russian word "village". We had churches in some villages, but not in others. (Or, in the villages, if you call in Russian)))) This, too, my grandfather explained to me in that conversation ... That we did not have such concepts as “villages” and “cities”. There were only "Mista" and "sela".)))))
however - in more or less large villages there are farms, all kinds of sawmills, often small construction institutions (baths, houses, log houses).


"Fighter-less" - this is approximately how much? Let's say 2-3 thousand people can be there?
Because, as I already wrote, for example, we have large villages, even 3-4 thousand people (now, however, they were converted into agro-towns))). And there are cities with the same number of people. But in the villages, everyone (almost) is engaged in agriculture (livestock, forestry, etc.). The maximum is the processing industry (meat, vegetable drying, or dairy plants), and in the cities there is already some kind of factory, plant, etc. Well, architecture ... In the towns there are also "classic village houses". But, as a rule, the center is built up with two-three-story houses (previously - mansions of the times ON). And now (the USSR and later) there are already five or nine-story buildings ... In the same large villages, mostly ordinary "self-built" houses with a gable roof. Maximum - two-story cottages for two families (collective farms were built once. Now they are building separate attic types, usually).
Valery
"Village" - this is what we call it in Russian, and "village" (more precisely, "damp" _ - this is the same village, only in the local dialect.
Until 1917 the village is a large peasant village, which has a mandatory church, and the village - on the contrary, a small peasant village, with fewer houses and residents, the absence of a church
The village is one of the types of settlements in Russia, as well as Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Bulgaria and Israel, related to the so-called rural settlements.

I, as the author is not exchanged for 2 homemade products, are indignant at the fact of the old video. Why about 6 DDR cameras shoot Bonnie - M.

Skidded - yes. We still lived in the capitals and in Altai - hermits. For the bizarre paths of the internal structure, as always, legs swell ...
Something tells me that this is all a matter of accepted terminology, nothing more. It was not possible to systematize the surrounding settlements on this basis, however - in more or less large villages there are farms, all kinds of sawmills, often small construction institutions (bathhouses, houses, log houses). In general, people work more on shifts - the northern gas and oil producing industries are relatively close by, and they direct their stops there. They are still dealing with logging. It is already here on the spot.
Our village has about 50 houses (yards),

According to our concepts - the average village. Not big and not small.)))
5 km small but already a village,

But we have no difference between these concepts. "Village" - this is what we call it in Russian, and "village" (more precisely, "damp" _ - this is the same village, only in the local dialect.)))) By the way, on it is the same, "city" - this is "mysto". Related to the Polish "mesto")
This is the Perm Territory, on the border with Udmurtia and Bashkiria.And I was born and studied in Ukraine too.

Ek-skid! )))))
And here I am, "where I was born - it came in handy there")))). Unless, 40 km to the side ... I also used to go here (to Brest) on a regular bus ...)))) And then I came here to go to college - I never left)))). True, three kilometers from my village there is a town in which thousands of four to five people live. (Apparently, by your standards, this is a village?)))). There is a large school and vocational school (now - college))), a boarding school for orphans. Partially went shopping there. But there during the Soviet times there were several grocery stores, several manufactured goods (Department Store, "Cultural Goods", "Shoes", "Household Goods", "Books") Now there are more of them, of course ... But there are fewer enterprises. Then there was also a concrete goods plant and a plant for electrical products, which are not available now. But a bunch of small private industries - from coffins and wreaths to laminate and insulation.)))) ...
Another town (Kamenetz, district center, already 8 thousand people) in twenty-five km. There is already not one school and more shops / enterprises). But they didn’t go there - it’s easier already to Brest. Buses ran regularly then. Now I do not know...
In general, we have many small towns. They are all from the time of ON.
..I have come to mind ... I still tried to qualify the "village / town" in terms of population ... Or maybe it depends on the type of activity of the population? Are there many (large) industrial enterprises in your villages?

Greetings to colleagues! Our village has about 50 houses (courtyards), also two streets and a couple of side streets. There is no asphalt, no club, gas pipeline, water supply and public sewage system, of course, also not. Shop in a crumbling log cabin "in the center." I didn’t consider people, there were not many people in the countryside, in summer, summer residents came. At 5 km a small but already a village, with a club, several shops, a school (a special bus carries schoolchildren) is a 9-year-old, first-aid post. The nearest city (82,600 people) is 40 km away, a regular bus runs 3 times a day, and it takes twenty-one and a half hours. Those. in the capitals, people, getting to the place of work and home, spend on the way, often twice as long. Here it is considered an inconceivable distance. This is the Perm Territory, on the border with Udmurtia and Bashkiria. And I was born and studied in Ukraine too.

Giant steps do it yourself

And to the nearest village more than three km?
Smiled a semantic bunch of two lines! xaxa
And to the nearest village more than three km?
There are no farms in Ukraine, we only have villages. The concept of "Farm" is only popularly. I live in a former farm, the population is now 7 dominating yards.

Rather, in our days, farms are called villages where there is no where to buy a gobble, have a drink and have nowhere to beat bows.
Here, for example, we have 4000 people - this is a city.
And I have 12 thousand according to the last census, and the village)))
Of course, well done!
I myself remember my childhood in the countryside ... They told each other about the carousel ...))). And nobody saw them live before ten or twelve for sure.)))
The swings were homemade. A rope on a side branch of an apple tree tied at both ends)))). And below - a plate with two triangular cutouts at the ends, invested in this rope.))))
And for such a fun, we would so respect the uncle master! )))))))
P.S.
. We live on the edge of a tiny village

And which village is considered tiny?
Just wondering.
Recently I talked with godfather (he is from Ukraine). He comes from a "farm" - 34 yards !!!
Our farm is 2-3 houses. 30 yards is already a village! Under the USSR, there has always been one in these stores. I come from a large (!!!) village - about 100 yards. We already had not only a store, but also a club, a library, and an elementary school. And the streets are lit (since the seventies, approximately). True, the street was one, and two lanes ...))))
There were also very large villages (one thousand or more inhabitants) in which, as a rule, the administrative centers of collective farms were located.There, movies were already played not in the club, but in the House of Culture))), and there was asphalt, and a clinic, and central heating and two or three-story buildings were built by collective farms. Now they are transformed into "agro-towns". And small ones (30 yards each) die off. If 3-4 houses remain there, then the inhabitants are moved to the nearest agricultural town, and the villages are demolished! They really equate the land with heavy equipment and sow / plant the vacated area ... (It’s so painful to watch sometimes ... Although I understand that "for the good" ...)
But they (in Ukraine) do not have a maximum of 2-3 kilometers between villages, as we have ... Far from each other.
And cities ... Here, for example, we have 4000 people - this is a city. There are already several companies usually there. And they can have up to five thousand in the village!))))
What about you? Also "finely but thickly", as we have, or "strong, but rarely"? ... I suspect that the second. Because our children are in small villages only on summer holidays ... They die off (small villages), to say nothing ... Therefore, they introduced the policy of agro-towns ... So that young people do not leave. And then there will be no one to work on the earth ...

Thanks. Yes, we are great!

The ends of the carabiners are connected by a kind of figured groove, and on top of this case, the thread is screwed on and the sleeve is screwed. For some reason they are called "firefighters" in the store. It’s hard for me to imagine that they will be straightened. A twisted rope, such as those for climbing in the gym, is really more convenient - thicker, cheaper and more pleasant to grab, but in the open air, I think it will rot faster. Let's see what happens to my ropes - frost, UV. Skaters perfectly rotate around its axis, watch the video. The rope is relatively thin and soft, they do not slow down. Twists and lambs were not observed. A high pole is wonderful, but we had a very high level of groundwater, alas, we had to shorten even the existing one in the name of sustainability.

A good attraction from my childhood 50gg last century. But we had a wooden pole and six meters higher then the expansion in diameter is larger when accelerating it turns out like on a carousel. Not a rope, but ropes are needed with a twisted knot on its lower part, then the weight will be able to withstand and jump and jump easier. The carabiners at the top of the bullshit will unbend over time, we had several links of a powerful chain on each rope and they were welded in powerful rotary hooks (as on a dog’s chain so that the chain does not twist), which provided additional unhindered free rotation around the rope in addition to the column. And so the idea is good for small ones. and the oldest ones. mischievous people can ruin
