17th Week - Moving Outside

This week in Max, the last cuts were made made for the benches. All of the tables and benches have been assembled but the last two tables and some of the benches need to be plugged and stained. The project is so close to completion but at the same time still has a lot of work that still needs to be done. By this time next week all of the tables and benches will have been completely finished and will be ready to be placed on the site. Next the class will be working hard to prep the site by spreading a layer of mulch around the area in preparation for the furniture to be moved to the outdoor class room. The time that I have to work on the project is coming to an end but this will be finished in the coming weeks.

16th Week - Almost Done

This week in Max, the benches have almost been completely finished. Most of the benches have been assembled and stained. By this time next week there with be a set of 14 benches that are ready to be put into place. I have continued to cut out some A and center braces and went over the the edges with a router to round them out. When this is done the majority of the work for the outdoor classroom will be complete.

15th Week - Changing Directions

This week in Max, I switched over from making tables to making benches.I personally have been making cuts and assembling the A braces for the benches. The total number of benches that are needed is close to double that of the tables with a whopping 14 benches. They are much simpler to construct that the tables so we have been able to assemble several benches in one day only being slowed down by the amount of time it takes to make the cuts.
