* Name of proposed Artwork: Extreme Hammock Hangout

* Description of Artwork
This year's Hammock will be nearly twice as big as last year's version
with some added features that will make it much more exciting as well.

Last year I used two 70' parachutes and one 100' parachute to make
7850 sq ft of shade. This year I will use one 70' parachute, one 100'
parachute and one 128' parachute, which will create nearly 12900 sq ft
of cool shade. Last year I had about 50 hammocks, there will be 90
this year. Finally, if the budget allows, I will put a small platform
(crow's nest) up on top of the 42' center pole.

* Budget
128' parachute: $400-
six 100' 3/8" or better steel cables: $300-
Steel crow's nest: $400-
10,000 ft of parachute line: $200-
ten 12' logs: $200-
material for 50 additional hammocks: $200-
hardware: $100-

Total: $1800-

Most of the material is already at the work ranch depot. I will need
shipping for the ten additional logs, the crow's nest and the cables.

I will need to be on the playa at least on week before the event and
stay 3 to 5 days after to clean up.

I will need two hours of bobcat time to drill 37 10" holes and one
hour of crane time to place the center pole.


* Wish List
- shipping for ten logs
- 6 100' of 3/8" steel cables (loops on each end)
- 10,000' of parachute line
- 1000' of 1000Lbs test of better rope (3/4 truckers minimum equivalent)
- 50 Hammock. (home made is great)
- lanterns for nighttime ambiance, for both inside and outside the Hammock Hangout
- 128' parachute--the parachute line tie down points must be in tact
