Since our last blog post we have FINISHED!!!!! We have finished putting in the gravel and the pipe! It has been a long and hard two weeks of working on both of those. We finished putting in the pipe the week we came back from spring break and we finished doing the gravel last Friday. We used the dirt we ordered from C&J gravel to back fill in the pipe and then the gravel from the trebuchets to put on top and make it so that there is NO MUD at all! t has been very rewarding though to see all the work we have done pay off! I just went out and took some pictures of outside and I am very proud of what we have accomplished and what we have turned this space into!
Major challenges have been time. Yes I know I'm beating a dead horse by saying that but we did literally use all the time we had. We used all of our humanities time either doing that or practicing our ted talk. Also every exploratory and x-block we had last week we used to move gravel, not only that but we stayed after school one day to make sure that it would be completed on time. Big shout out to the people who helped us during x-block and after school.
We have learned that 10 tons of gravel doesn't go as far as you think it would. When you think 10 tons you think of and enormous amount of gravel. Well its not nearly that much and it takes more to fill a space then you would think. Also having another gravel pile was a blessing because that was what we used to really make it look good and to put the cherry on top and finish our design.
