Finally!

Yesterday, Thursday, May 12, 2011, 11:55 a.m., our bench was finally in place. This past tuesday I e-mailed Mr. Robert Ramsey of the Physical Plant Department, asking humbly for permission to place the bench right in front of Midkiff and under the tree. After receiving his approval yesterday (Thursday), I went to the tech building at the beginning of the first lunch period to the end of the 2nd. Wednesday after noon, my friend Pua and I painted "I mua" on the top of the bench using card stock stencil. The next morning (Thursday morning) I went to tech building to pick up the bench and take it to Konia, when to my surprise, the card stock had dried and was stuck to the paint on the bench. That morning, Andy, Mr. Massad, and I spent time scraping off the paper and re-painting the "I mua."

When the afternoon came rolling by, I went back down tech building during the lunch periods and Mr. Massad recommended putting plexy glass on the bench to make sure that the rain wouldn't ruin the top part of the bench. Mr. Massad and Mr. J did all the work with the plexy glass, except sanding down the edges: Pua and I were good for that.

After all the hard work, we are done... finally!
