Shed Clean-up ESLP Fall
For the Fall ESLP project, assigned by Mr. Bursh, my group decided to clean-up the garden. My group consisted of Chase Lyles, Nate Ferrari, William Mahnke, and me. We also decided that we would be cleaning and organizing the garden shed in particular. The team chose this because we knew that throughout the entirety of the school year, the shed would be used variously to store garden materials. Also that in the rest of the garden projects we attempt, a clean shed would help tremendously. Personally, I do have good experience in cleaning out small and cramped areas, especially ones that deal with tools and plant storage. For example in fourth grade, my class worked in the garden almost every week and my helping job was to keep the shed clean and safe. This project took about one week to finish, the days we cleaned-up were the 27th and 29th of September. The first day we worked for about 2 hours and the second for 30 minutes. All in all this project was super fun and was very satisfying when the job was completer and the shed looked spotless(not exactly).
The first 30 minutes of the cleanup process was probably the hardest because the shed was a complete
mess and we had to take everything out first. So the group cleared out the entire area of the shed and started to map out where each and every material went. We decided that the planks of wood would stay where they were(On the side of the left wall) and just put them more neatly. Next, I placed the tools, like the shovels and brooms, on the right wall where they were nicely stacked next to each other. After that, the we placed all of the pots on top of each other in the front because they are probably the most used garden materials. Finally, we finished off the day by just throwing all of the unused items on top of everything and thinking that was fine(It was not fine at all). Then we left and knew that we had made a huge impact on what it was before we came to help.
The next day we made a few touches to the shed and went to show Mr. Bursh our final product. He said that there needed to be a few major changes: Firstly, the soil and sand that we had just thrown on the floor needed to be moved to the back because it is not used and unwanted. So we made that change, and were told that the wheel barrows need to be at the front and tilted up because they were used a lot. Following that, Mr. Bursch told us a few minor problems that we fixed instantly and a few little movements that needed to be made. In conclusion, this project was a great thing to accomplish and I am looking forward to doing many more of these over the course of the school year.
