Ayla==> I talked to Mr.Bursch today about the safety parameters of the project. In order to make a safe bench to put on campus, our group has to find reinforcement to keep it from tipping over.

Katie, Morgan, Ayla, Jenny ==> We all went to The Home Depot to buy our wood and other supplies. We tried our best to find the best possible wood that was sturdy, but also good for the environment. At the end of the trip, we ended up purchasing 6 6x1s and 7 2x4s, as well as outdoor nails. After our trip, we dropped off all the supplies at Jenny's house which is where the construction will take place.

Katie, Ayla, Morgan, Jenny ==> Today, we walked over to the Hummingbird Garden next to the Mickey Long Center. Inside the garden, there is a small area for benches. We decided to create two four-foot benches based on the dimensions of the garden. Each bench is supposed to fit two people. Ayla had the idea of keeping the benches with a natural look, so we are going to do minimal painting.
