Home Depot

I am seriously debating on getting a job at Home Depot or some other hardware supply store. The amount of time that I spend at these places amazes me. In the last month I think I have gone at least once a week which I would believe is more than the average person.


Supplies list:
Paint
Thinner and mineral spirits
Painters tape
Sand paper
Paint sprayer 

Update for full-scale cabin, visit, and sub-team

Full-scale cabin update:

For visit of Erik Bromander, State Secretary to the Minister, Anne Lindgard, part of the Vinnova, Rod Diridon and other sponsors;  we were requested to clean up the current look of full-scale that the Swedish students started. During class time we started to bondo the places that needed fixing and sanding to make an even surface for the cabin. On the weekend the group joined at SDCC to finish up more bondo work, sanding, and painting the cabin white. I made sure that we had the proper materials for finishing the cabin. The group needed to get finer grit of sandpaper, extra white paint, and spatulas. Mark did a very good job with sanding and finding the last few areas that needed to do more bondo work. While Mark was sanding, Lucas and I started to make a painting station.  After completing, Lucas and Mark worked on how to make the paint sprayer to function properly. Then Lucas began to spray paint the cabin. The first coat showed the imperfection still on the cabin. This led to doing more bondo work and sanding by Mark. After this was complete the second coat of paint was applied the surface looked better and clean.

The Visit:

    A tour was given to the visitors so that they could see what the Spartan Superway was working on. After the video showing of how the Superway would look and functioning, group discussion began. There was definitely a group consensus that sustainable transportation needed to be established. This would provide for the ever growing congestion transportation problem and better for the environment. When Rod Diridon gave his opinion of how the future for Super would look like was very interesting and convenient for those that would be using it. I think that everyone benefited from the Mr. Diridon being at the visit.

Updates:

    The group has finalized the decision to make to complete full scale cabin, make a one ¼ scale cabin that can open to show interior, two ¼ scale cabin shells for model rail, and functioning ¼ or full scale station mechanism. The mechanism is still in the thought process because of other possible docking devices for the cabin to be stabilized when it is at the station.
