Winter break progress

1/4/2012
Over winter break we are hard at work. We are preparing for the new semester so we can hit the ground running. We are writing the material list, adding some drawings, and making the website. We are trying to raise money so we can get started. The lumber will be costing us around $10,000, so hopefully we can get some sponsors and funding soon.

We have our survey plot in. Thank you very much Darcia Consulting Engineers. We also have started doing fund-raising for our project.

Tool shed for the project

11/23  and 11/26, over thanksgiving break, we built a tool shed to store our tools in on site. It is a 8x12 shed with a 45 degree roof.

12/3 and 12/4 we disassembled the tool shed, and then re assembled it on the Farnsworth house site. We cut the rafters on site. This is the first time we built anything on site that would be there for a few months. The rain and breeze were not kind, but we managed to finish construction. We also learned how to make a building plum (even in the rain).

 

getting ready for final review

We took a group photo with all of us from fall semester in front of crown today. We also finished the renderings and the brochure of our building. We had our site surveying for permit postponed to Monday after break. Our giant model is making it's way to being completed. The plan is to have movable doors too.
