Day 1

Upon arriving at the fair ground it was clear to see that we were all very anxious to start on the project, an enthusiasm that probability won’t be there tomorrow. It was nice to see everybody so ready to dive into building something, something real. The thought of creating the design that my classmates worked so hard to realize was also an energy that I could perceive in their presents, so much so that I really started to get excited. Creation is an act of sheer will: and everybody seemed willing to start.

We first received our daily tasks and were sent on our way. Personally, I’m not most familiar with the job site and all the complexity it possesses but I do have both the willingness to work and the hunger to learn. Luckily, I had Master Mike Dawson and Brittany Greenwood in my group both who seem to be well more knowledgeable then myself. I’m terribly excited to learn as much as possible about the construction process and I’m sure they will awesome to work with.

The weather was cloudy at first then the sun came out, not much of this mattered because we were inside and the warehouse seem way more present then I thought it would be.

Today we framed all the bays for the floor and connected them. Then Chris and Mike made sure that the whole structure was level and straight. Then we covered the floor with plywood that had really convenient tongue and grooves. It seems that we are slightly ahead of schedule and will start the wall tomorrow then the lumber arrives.

It was a good day, good work and great speed (when we know what’s going on-ha ha).
