My uncle helped me cut all of the wood. Many of my friends helped me paint and stain all of the wood for the next several weekends. When school got out for summer, I transported all the materials to South Tryon Community Church to begin building. The first day we dug the holes for the benches and built the Cross. The next day, we put the cross into the ground with concrete and put the fence post into the ground. On the third day we put the bench O.D. tubes in the ground. The next day, with the help of Erin Jones and my day, we built the white picket fence. A week later, thanks to the help of Steve Keim and my dad, we built the benches. Up to this point, I have used 800 lbs of concrete!
