How to measure a day . . .

It wouldn’t be the number of sheathing that was placed on the floor structure but rather the number of pieces of wood that would fit on the shelves made for the storage compartment.

 

The first day was filled with an abundance of wood, wood and more wood.  After, we had the first meeting for the day we got to work in our groups, John, Luke and I, got the pleasure of doing  a whole bunch of odd jobs.  Our first task of the day was to build a table for the chop saw, which  sounds to be simple but given our first thought was to use a pallet for the top it was more challenging then it needed to be.  The problem with using the pallet was that it made the structure of the table really unstable but we figured it out and the table works just find with the chop saw attached.  After the little job of the table we got the pleasure of unloading the large Budget truck full of wood.  However, we needed to make sure that the storage container everything was going into would have enough room to hold everything in an organized way.  So first we built a shelving unit with three parts to it so that each type of wood could have it’s own area, the tools could be organized when put away, and there would be a place to put our tool belts when we were done.  Then, we made an assembly line and unloaded the truck into the container and everything fit in its designate place and looked very well designed
