Final Project

For my final project I made a fire pit with George at 38th and Wallace in Mantua. Overall the communities response was positive, although we did receive some trouble for taking pictures of this group of kids who helped us carry fire wood another guy had dropped off for us. A group of people came to yell at us for it, but it was really only one guy who seemed livid. The people who lived on either side of the lot thought what we were doing was great, and that they would definitely use it themselves. Many people who just walked by asked us what we wer doing and seemed pleased by it. Since building this I have been back with class and one other time. The structures were still standing a week after we built it, and the pit had been used at least once. We heard from two of the children that the angry man from earlier in the day had said he was going to destroy everything. Maybe when he saw what we did he decided not to or maybe someone convinced him not to possibly the people who live next door. Or maybe he was just to lazy. I don't think we'll ever know, but I'm just glad it has survived this long, because the longer something lives the longer its ultimate lifetime will be.
