our creation... we started with the truckload and it is all coming together.  I can't believe it!  Our leader has great vision and THE GUYS...what skill!  I have learned how to use a plasma cutter (I have to get one!).  I am now in LOVE with rust!!!!  Here is a sneak peak at what we're doing...can't show much until Friday - the official unveiling!!!!  I will also post twice friday...you can text a vote in for our work!!!  One call per number.  Once we drop the sculpture off we will be assigned a number for voters...sort of like American Idol!  So even though you won't know if our sculpture is the best....
