Building the Arch

The arch welcomes visitors to the Little Knife Sanctuary.

Building the Arch

Patricia painted two bears For the Little Knife Sanctuary Welcome Arch. One reads “Imagine there is no War” when you are coming in and “ You might say I am Dreamer” when you leave. I built the frame over the road and attached the signs to the support beams. With ropes I pulled the signs to the correct height and bolted them to the posts.
Unfortunately after the sign was installed I found out that the height of the arch was not efficient. I had to raise the height by four more feet. (this was a big headache but I managed). To get additional height, I designed a pulley system, so that the signs can be flipped out of the way for delivery trucks etc. Finally, the arch is done.
