WEEK 7: Starting with the letters.

From now on, I will write weekly blog posts, rather than making a blog post for every single task I finish. This is because I have a lot of tasks, and they are time-consuming, and I don't have that much time to spend on separating my blog posts into categories.

This week I had the Monday and Tuesday off, this was because I have a re-do of the web development exam, and since I had no time to prepare during the weekend ( because I was working on the pedestal), Julia agreed on giving me, and the other people from the team with the same problem, some time off. If I have to be completely honest, Julia suggested this in the first place, and I was refusing to accept it because it was my fault that I failed my exam, and this should not influence my current project.

But as the date of the exam was approaching, I started freaking out, because I did not want to fail again. So I accepted Juli's suggestion and stayed at home to study.

On Thursday we finally started building the letters. After finishing the pedestal yesterday, it was time to move on to the most important task of all - the letters. Marije laser cut some of the letters – E, N, S, H, C. Unfortunately, we did not glue all of them because Marije had made some miscalculations on some of the side parts of the C and the S. Luckily, she did not laser cut the rest of the letters, because she realized that she made the same mistake with the D, as well.

Marije and Nina teamed up to glue some of the letters and I glued the other half of the letters.

We managed to fully glue the E, N and H. Most of the parts on the C and the S were also glued.

When we finished gluing the letters, it was already 6 pm and we decided to go home.

There wasn’t much to do since the glue needed to dry before I start painting.

On Friday, after the classes, Nina and I started applying the primer on the letters. I was not very happy to find out that the primer needed to dry for 4 hours, before applying another paint on it. This ment that painting the letters with the primer will take way to much time...

At 16h Nina had to go work, so I stayed in school and continued painting the letters by myself.

While waiting for the primer on the letters to dry, I decided to apply primer on the side parts that Marije laser cut. These were the side parts of the Evening E, the last E, and some parts of the D.

By the time I applied the primer to all the letters we had and the small side parts, it was already 17:30h and I had to leave.
