First, all of the hardware materials will be bought at discounted price from Kendall’s Hardware and brought home to the project manager’s house. A few specially chosen volunteers will gather at this house to pre-fabricate the arch. First, six 10 foot two-by-fours will be created by cutting two feet off of the ends of the 12 foot two-by-fours. Then, the group will cut a foot off of two of these 10 foot two-by-fours. Next, the group will bolt one nine foot two-by-four in between two 10ft two-by-fours, using a bolt every three feet. After this, a five foot two-by-four will be bolted into this gap at a 135 degree angle relative to the pillar. This same thing will be done on the other side with the remaining ten foot two-by-fours and the remaining nine foot two by four. (See diagram 3) Before departing for the site, the sign will be picked up from Duff Signs (See diagram 1), and the plants picked up from Sun Nurseries. At the site, the group will first saw off a ninety degree triangle off of the inner part of each half of the structure using an electric saw. Then, the group will bolt the two sides of the structure together at a ninety degree angle using the timber lock screws. To complete the actual structure, the group will nail the 3.5 foot two-by- four 1.5 feet above the pillars parallel to the ground. Then, to begin the installation process, we will dig two holes seven feet apart, three feet deep and 16 inches in diameter. The structure will then be slid into the holes. Concrete will be poured into the holes around the outside of the legs to hold the structure in place. In the mean time, the structure will be held in place by rope tied to stakes on either side of the structure. This concludes the second stage of the project. For the third stage of the project, the group will begin by digging the holes for the plants. The holes for the Gulf Stream Nandina should be the same depth and twice the width of the plant. The same applies for the other plants. First, four Densiformis Yews, two on either side, will be planted. Between and in front of both pairs of Yews the group will plant two Gulf Stream Nandinas. On either end of the entire display, we will plant a Dragon Lady Holly. After gently placing the plants in the holes, fill the remaining space with a 50/50 mixture of leaf-grow and soil. This will help the plants get comfortable in the soil. After this, the project will be completed by raking half an inch of mulch over the dirt. (See diagram 2)
