It is finished! I am very happy with it, and very grateful for the help I got from Eric, Dan, and all the volunteers who came by the park to help. (Also, the guy who smoked spicy sausages for everyone at lunchtime is my new personal hero.)
We are almost certainly moving out of this neighborhood after almost 10 years, and I'm a little sad about that. It feels good to be leaving something behind.
So go have a picnic on the Wilshire Boulevard side of Patterson Park before it all gets chipped away or, um, defaced. (I think we sealed it up pretty well, but you know how these things go.) Be sure to check out the other two tables because they're really cool too. Ok!
