Alright, so today me and Ekolu got down to some REAL planning. As we may have mentioned earlier, we plan to model our benches after those done last year up at Konia. To do so, we need only two MAIN materials: cinder blocks and planks. So~ today in class, Ekolu and I were looking up some cheap and viable sources of both. We decided that Home Depot looked good. When we checked, we saw that they had some sweet deals on both materials. The 2x4 planks sold for about $4 each, and the cinder blocks for about $2 each. With the remaining time in class, we discussed our actual design, but sadly I didn't really understand what Ekolu was saying (XP). Well, that's not entirely true. From what I got, he said we should lay 2 rows of 3 blanks (the long way), which would be supported by 3 cinder blocks, or something of the sort. Anyways, we plan to talk more thoroughly about this as a whole group. Finally, after class was done, I made sure to go down and schedule an appointment with Kumu Hailama for an actual approval of this project. This meeting will take place tomorrow, (pretty convenient huh?) and I'm sure we are all glad that it is finally being taken care of.
