The string around it is to aid measuring. There is the small matter of having to transport it to Laverton train station now.
The height and width needs accurate measurment for working out whether it comes under retrictions for travel on the roads.
We need a low loader semi trailer and hopefully can do without a pilot.
The footings are the next step. Grant built this bolt cage which will be buried in concrete for the sculpture to be attached to. So, up to Melbourne...So this is the site. The train station is behind me and this is the entrance from the road. 
The concreters jack hammer a hole in the pavement and then dug out over a cubic metre of soil, positioned the bolt cage and then filled it with concrete.

Now comes the tricky bit in the move. The crane truck cannot make it down our drive to the sculpture because of over hanging trees and the narrowness of the corners. That means that the sculpture has to be moved up to a clear area, about 50 metres up the drive. Yesterday, we took down one side of the tent.
The straps are to keep the sculpture steady while it is dragged along steel rails by the tractor. It weighs about 2 tonnes, so unfortunately, the tractor can't lift it. That's todays' task.
