Congratulations on deciding to build your very first backyard Urinal!By now you've managed to convince everyone you know that this IS a good idea or you're just ignoring them and building it anyway. Either way, good for you, they'll be thanking you later.
Materials Needed: Shovel, Vertical Supports (star pickets), Wall Sheeting, Cordless Drill, Screws, Hammer.
- With the image of the finished product in your head (because you definitely haven't drawn it up or measured anything) dig the trench for the wall sheeting to follow. Pile the sand really close by so you can kick it into the hole again while holding the sheeting vertical later on. Make sure you completely exhaust yourself and cover your entire body with dirt, dust, leaves and misc shit.
- Pick a spot along the trench to start building the wall and hammer in a support. Hold up a piece of sheeting and try to lean it against the support while you get another one. Pick the sheeting up off the ground and try again. Give up and just go get another sheet anyway.
- Wait for appropriate wind gusts to dash for extra sheeting until you have 3-4 pieces up. Wait for an INappropriate wind gust to blow them all down *Optional: Cut yourself trying to hold them in place and not drop your hammer on your foot.
- Finally realise that you need cross bracing on the walls cos they are only 0.5mm thick and get bent faster than Bob Downey Jnr. Assemble the braces and screw them in with the drill so that your creation starts to resemble something........ anything.
- Look up and see that there is no sun anymore and its time for bed.
Day 1 Lessons Learned
1. Dirt sticks to sweat
2. Hammering is loud
3. Wind blows things over
4. 'Thinking' takes time away from 'Doing' so don't do it.
5. It gets dark at night
Onward to Day 2!
