we are currently in the process of gathering materials- wood and steel. the steel-getting has been a fairly entertaining process because we got to go to a scrap metal yard and wander in the chaos between huge piles. it's something you normally see in the movies, giant magnets and all, so it was great to be there in real life. the wood gathering is a bit more difficult because we need around 1500 pieces of treated 2x4, at least 4' long, for free. people just don't seem to be giving that stuff away often enough. but anyway, besides that we are supposed to start prefabricating benches and signs this thursday...we'll see how that goes. we are finally on the commissioners court agenda, so will hopefully get all the necessary permits tomorrow, and then who knows...maybe we'll even get on the site.
