After a long, successful week where we put up all the arches we have been working on getting everything ready for the roofing contractor that will be working this summer. We have also been working hard to have everything in tip-top shape for the annual Pig Roast.

Monday, we met at Red Barn and finalized the vestibule schematics for the Cahawba meeting. Meghan and Alex worked on the PowerPoint for Pig Roast. We packed up and headed to Selma for a 2 o’clock meeting with the Cahawba Advisory Board. After a long meeting, we got approval for the vestibule design. SUCCESS!

Tuesday, we went to the church and began working on placing scaffolding so that we could work on replacing and repairing the three top sills of the Vestry. We also had to place two additional intermediary columns to support the load. While Zane, Heather, and Delvin were completing the top sills, Meghan and David moved all the scaffolding from the mobile attic into the the permanent trailer to prepare for summer.

Wednesday-Thursday, Since we didn’t have class with Dick on Thursday of Arches week we got two class days this week.

Wednesday for Materials and Methods we began building our Joggling Boards out of found materials.

Friday, we began preparation for Pig Roast. We cleaned up the arches work site, loaded pallets in the Dually to take back to Morrissette and carried the rest of the pallets to the Cahawba burn pile. We organized the trailers and cleaned the mobile attic so that it can be picked up.

Learning Objectives:

Traditionally, we write what learning objectives we have achieved for the week. As a team I just want to let everyone know how much we have learned this semester. We are all excited by our knowledge but saddened that this great experience has to end. We are trying to savor every minute of the next week as we prepare for Pig Roast. Thanks to Jason, Natalie, Steve, Dick, and Dan for a great semester.
