I was commissioned to build a picnic table for the Midtown Greenway. Materials were bought through a grant and I donated my time. I was asked to build a table that would be hard to steal, throw over the edge onto the Greenway, or burn. Hmm. I found plans to this table and thoroughly enjoyed building it.Peter and I visited it one day and he asked "why someone would scribble marker on it?" I asked why he draws on things at home.
