Chloe and her dad finished the consrtuction/building aspect of the sign. We fixed the team blog, as well as added some components. All online documents were updated to its fullest. We are trying to plan out how we are going to bring the sign to school. As we have just found out, Mr. Bursch is not going to be at school tomorrow (the due date). So we have to work around that and ask Mr. Bursch about when we should bring the sign.
We drilled holes previous to putting the nails in so it wouldn't be so hard.
We used this angle to make sure the frame wouldn't end up crocked.
We put nails in each letters just to make sure the letters wouldn't move if the sign got banged around.
After we finished the top letters, we had to mark the placings of bottom letters.
We placed the plastic and plywood in the cutouts to make sure they fit okay.
We had the whole sign raised on blocks while we worked on it.
We had to mark and match up a lot of places before we put in any screws or nails.
We put a clamp across the short side of the sign to make sure everything was tight. We also used a little right triangle to make sure everything was laying flat.
Drilling holes, on the crosspiece below the lower letters, where the screws will go in.
One of the markings we used to position the letters.
One of the nails that secures the letters.
We had a lot of equipment set up and clamped onto the sign to make sure the wood was in the right place.
The map is slightly smaller than the opening on the frame, so we had to make sure we kept holding the plastic and wood tight so the map wouldn't move from where we had centered it.
We dropped the sheets in and started screwing them into the frame. We put screws all the way around the wood and plastic to make it very secure and partialy weather resistant.
The completed sign.
