 Andreas Cantu  Last weekend I was involved in another service project for a fellow classmate and their eagle project. This time, instead of building a fence, we built benches for our school. While the idea of building a bench is pretty straightforward, this style of the bench had a lot of different parts and techniques that were required to properly construct a stable bench for the children. On top of the specific techniques that we needed to employ, it also started to rain extremely hard and due to us being outside for this project we had to make sure to move everything undercover but that did not mean we didn't get wet.
