Day 75, Battersea power station and pig

Major civil engineering projects are not usually carried out in your own home.  However in this case it was necessary.  A flat pack and metal version of Battersea Power Station had arrived over the Christmas period and due to demand for electricity in and around my desk area it needed to be constructed hastily.

First requirement was a robust surface.  The desk was just about large and strong enough to contain the sheet metal.

Removal of the individual components could then commence.  Significant manual dexterity and finger strength was required to release the prefabricated sections from their supporting superstructure.

Fabrication was now under way.  Superior strength was required to manually bend what was quite possibly a high tensile material.

After a period of many minutes much time the building was constructed.  Concealed from view are the control room, the boiler houses and the turbine hall.  These were the most difficult and time consuming elements to construct - due to the fine tolerances needed a team of ants were trained to the highest power-plant certification and they assembled the internal live operations equipment.

Here is the building in the full glory of a daylight wavelength, low-energy lamp.

Within minutes a popular beat combo pitched up and insisted on flying a pig over the power station. 

Tsk.  I ask you.
