On Tuesday we started our day by getting breakfast and working out at school. When we started working on our bench we went over all the designs and writing we did with another coat of paint so it comes out better when we're finished. We began to paint the tree and the hornet. I painted the tree on the side corner of the bench and Mack painted the hornet. We are starting to paint the quotes on Wednesday and add on more designs. We want the bench to be as colorful as possible!! We are up to 18 hours.

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!

On Monday we went to Walmart to get the pot and flower for our bench. We decided we were going to put it in the new wellness center. We didn't think that we should have it be outside because the paint would chip off. We also checked with maintenance and they didn't really seem to into it, which we understand. We outlined the pot with different designs on what we are going to paint on it. We got a pineapple flower that never dies and will always grow back. A pineapple is the sign of "Welcome" and we thought that went really nicely with the flow of our kindness bench. We are starting to paint the pot on Tuesday and get everything together to present on Wednesday!

On Friday we went to Lowe's in Tilton to get the spray. We started our day off with our usual routine, breakfast and a work out. After we were done we headed to Tilton. There was a lot of traffic on the way there so it slowed us down a bit. When we go to Lowe's we went right to the aisle that had the finish spray so we bought it and then was on our way! When we got back we made sure we finalized any finishing touches to make sure that before we sprayed down the bench we didn't forget anything. We sprayed it and waited for it to dry for about an hour ish and then sprayed it again! The bench is finally finished. Now we have to plan out where we are going to put it!
