Big Event

When in college and wanting to become an engineer, or anything for that matter, community service is always a really good thing to do. And that is exactly what I did today. Me and a few friends had signed up to do Big Event, and we were assigned the job of painting a lady's deck. So after the big kickoff, we started on our way to this lady's house. We finally find the road that her house is on, and start driving down it looking for her house. We were unable to find it, because the numbering on the houses were really weird, they started off with 4000 and then just skipped to 4040 with no other housed in between and we were supposes to be at 4020. So we were a bit confused for a bit, but then we decided to stop at the 4040 house and ask to see where the house we were supposed to be at was. Well to find out we had to go through this gate and the end of the road to get to the house we were supposed to be at. So we do that and we find the house. So we get up to the house and we find the paint and brushes we need out on the deck that we are supposed to be painting. So we get started with our job. We first had to take the scrapers and start scrapping the paint off the railings of the deck because all the paint was pealing off, and painting over it wouldn't be good. So whence we finally get all the paint scrapped and pealed off the railing we start painting the railing white, the same color that used to be. So when were were done with that, we took our lunch break, which consisted of bbq. It was AMAZING!! So after our lunch break we put our second coat of white paint on the the railing and then start paint the actual floor of the deck with the brown deck stain. Whence we finally finish with the first coat of brown deck stain we decided to take a break, so the floor could dry, and we went to Spoons to get some ice cream yogurt. When we finished that we went back out to the house, and by that time floor was dry enough to where we could start applying the second coat to the floor. So when we finished the second coat, we had to do some touch ups with the white paint on the railings and stuff where we got a little bit of brown on. So after all that we were finally finished with our Big Event project, and we came back to campus.
