On Monday-Tuesday, I was away with my Dad visiting a college, Hobart and William Smith. I wasn't able to contribute to our senior project because I was gone. While I was at William Smith, I toured around the campus and met many new people. It was for sure the most beautiful campus I had ever been on. My dad and I stayed in a hotel on Monday night so that I could have more time at the school. It is a 6 hour drive so it made sense to stay over. On Tuesday night we didn't get back until late and I had to make my decision on where I was going to college so I drove back up Wednesday morning which is why I missed that day of working on the bench also. I have mad up for what I missed and the hours I missed!
On Wednesday we started our leg design. We had to first clean off the bench and wipe it down with water and paper towels to make sure there wasn't anything like dust or pencil shavings that the paint could dry over. When we finished this we put a trash bag over the parts of the bench that we didn't want to get paint over and then started our design. We're not giving anything away so a little hint is that it is super messy. Our design took a long time to finish, but it was really fun. After we finished we went over the entire bench in like a 5th coat of white. We painted white in between letters, pictures, words, etc. It took a very long time to make sure we didn't get any white paint over anything we had already painted. We had to let the paint dry so we stopped there and are going to finish the other coat on Thursday, and then the bench will finally be done!
