Ace Hardware

Today we worked on finding the wood on Ace hardware that Fletcher will go and get over the break.  So we scrapped the idea of a sliding desk top.  So we all brought in 10 dollars on monday and it covered the expenses of the wood, nails, and paint.  On the next friday we will finish the final product and begin on the presentation.  This year has gone by fast and I feel that landon and I could not finish today with out getting of topic and talking about the break.  THIS IS FRIDAY.   I can not wait for the break I have spent the last month waiting on this and I bet one million million million billion dollars that It will go by to fast.  I will also try to go to hame depot and see if I can not find find anything that is cheap and good for this project.

I got nothing man

Today we had so many problems with the design and and getting parts everything that was good was either online buy and long shipping or out of stock or both.  We were very very very very very silly at the end and I think the stress got to us but we did make some progress.  Fletch daddy found out that PVC pipe would help solve some problems that were caused by us constantly missing opportunities to get sliding track systems and a cheap sheet metal.  I personally think that home depot sells nothing that is on their web site because it had nothing that was on the website.  We have been messed up by the home of depot.   The stress got to fletcher and we considered change the project but there is not enough time.  I think the silliness is how we dealt with the stress.  Personally I do not care if we have to change every thing about the project as long as we get it done in the next week or so, so we can get moving on our speech and fix all the mistakes from last time.

Buckets Design

Today went by so slow I had no idea what to do.  We had most of the parts done Fletcher came up with the final picture Landon and I made sure the parts were still there after black Friday.  In fact the prices came  down.   I found a cheaper sheet metal that was some what bigger and Landon found out that we were searching for online products and we needed to searching store prices.  I also was able to find a slide system that fit our design.  Fletcher was very concerned that we would not finish in time and that if we were in this class named leadership for the full year that we would be able to finish but due to time constraints we will not.  I have the worst feeling that not many of the groups will finish.  It is almost the end of the year and as it comes to a close so will this class.  I have the impression that this would have been a great idea.
