The type of wood that can be used to make an Adirondack chair. The tools that can be used to cut the wood for an Adirondack chair. The type of stain that can be used to make the Adirondack chair look nicer.

Thomas Lee owned a beautiful summer house up in Westport, NY right on Lake Champlain. Lee had a problem that he did not have a single piece of outdoor furniture, so he decided to design his own outdoor furniture.

    Cullen Sculpture Garden Analysis

    The sculptures that adorn the acre-wide Cullen Sculpture Garden are not just an exhibit. They are an experience. They are to be walked amongst, and viewed as they are exposed to the elements. Light, shadow, weather, all play a part in how they are viewed throughout the day. In essence, no one sees the exact same sculpture. In full light the trees still dapple the sculptures with shadow. Metallic sculptures cast dark shadows. The steel sculptures especially challenged the viewer to interpret its meaning.…

    Cushy Armchair

    Cushy Armchair, based in Hong Kong, a leader in the global armchair business has been successfully using its model of centralization for over 50 years. It operates fully autonomous business facilities in 17 countries. Cabletronica has recently acquired the company and has sent one of their own senior personnel to restructure operations and integrate the company with another of their furniture divisions outside of the country. Acting as a consultant, the founder of Cushy Armchairs Frances Wong is consulted regarding a communication on a change in policy, but the new head of the company Alison Sampson decides to use the parent company’s standard method of announcing changes email, and soon realizes that the method she used to announce the changes was not effective, and the restructuring may not go as smooth as she originally anticipated. In her first two weeks of her new posting she has attempted to make some drastic changes. So far her directions have been ignored and she has failed to make an impression as a change leader. In this analysis I will explore the concerns, root causes and constraints, and propose methods and strategies to use in the situations. I will apply the class work and text reading from the MBA program to offer practical solutions to address the issues.…

    Maria Schitonstool's Argument Essay

    What and why was there a need or use of a stool. It all began in 1749, when a Swiss woman named Maria Schitonstool got a great idea (dynasty business). At this time in her life she was struggling to make ends meet, due to her gambling addiction. She had reached a point where she could not afford to keep her home heated in the winter, and had to resort to burning furniture as a heat source. In the process of doing this it became apparent to her that she would no longer have a place to sit and enjoy the warmth, since her chairs now were engulfed in flames. Knowing that she needed to stay warm Maria choose to saw the backs of her chairs off and add them to the fire, which left the seat portion as a decent place to sit. Over time the idea spread from the lower class to the upper class and everyone in between. Maria's ingenious thinking got the product…

    Personal Narrative: Olson Family Cabin

    Up in the mountain tops, just past Payson and just before Strawberry, lies my home away from home. It’s the good old, “Olson family cabin.” Sitting at approximately 5300 feet elevation it is naturally 20 degrees cooler than Phoenix. Which is great because you don't melt in the summer like you do down in the valley. It is not your typical log cabin. Rather, it is a small house with a large loft, almost as big as the house. It is surrounded by tall, rich green pine trees, and for that reason my family has dubbed it the “cabin.” It has beautiful, hand crafted, wooden deck that surrounds the entire outside of the house where we lie to barbecue and just hang out.…

    Burnham Alone-Olmsted Analysis

    Every other building of substance in Englewood seemed to be charged with the energy of anticipation, not just of the world’s fair but of a grand future expanding far beyond the fair’s end. Within just a couple of blocks of sixty-third rose huge, elaborate houses of many colors and textures, and down the street stood the Timmerman Opera House and the adjacent New Julian Hotel, whose owners had spent heavily on fine materials and expert craftsman. In contrast, Holmes’s building was dead space, like the corner of a room where the gaslight could not reach” (Larson…

    Sculpture and Ralph Hicks

    It’s a cold and overcast day in February and a man sits alone at a park bench, at the Odette Sculpture Park. He watches as the river splashes aggressively about, caused by the strong wind blowing that day. Perched above him on the top of a hill just a few feet from the road, sits a large-scale sculpture called “Salutation”, by Ralph Hicks. Standing only 6 feet tall, it’s original conception called for the sculpture to have a height 30 feet and be placed at five of the major entryways leading into Toronto. They would have welcomed visitors entering the city, if Toronto had won the bid for the 2008 Summer Olympics.…

    "Good People"

    The short story is set at a park by a lake. “They were up on a picnic table at that park by the lake, by the edge of the lake, with part of a downed tree in the shallows half hidden by the bank.”1 The downed tree sets the mood to be sad and dark. We also learn that the main characters Lane A. Dean, Jr. and his girlfriend Sheri Fisher are sitting very still on the picnic table2, which tells us that the atmosphere is quite intense. It does not say for how long they sit by the lake, but it says that the right sides of their faces get shaded so it can be assumed that they sit there for a while.3…
