Week 4

This week we were mostly working in the garden area. What we did was pant more cherry tomatoes and I think we planted some green beans also. We had to put some stuff in the water that goes into the planter box to make the plants grow just a little bit faster. We tried installing something in the big water tank I forgot what it was called but it was really easy to build but it turned out to be the wrong one. The thing i'm mostly excited for is getting the strawberries and watching how much they grow. I also want to see how it all turns out when all the vegetables and fruits look taking over the planter box and being able to eat them when they are ready!

With the trailer project I haven't been working on it that much because I have been spending a lot of time with the plants. Yesterday we watched another group do something that we are going to be doing next and it seems really simple and hopefully it's as simple as it looks. The way the trailer is looking I have a feeling we will be finishing it and it's going to turn out great!

Week 3

This week we had Monday off for Martin Luther King Jr. When we came back on Tuesday I ended up just joining the trailer group and we just cut some pieces for the lights for the trailer. There was to many people and not enough things to do with the trailer because most of what was really needed to do was welding and grinding. So what the extra people did was sand some wood for a new bench for the special ed class. Thursday we switched to the plants which is actually really fun. I think learning new things about the plants is cool. Like when we switch the plants over they hang down because they are traumatized which I never knew I found that very interesting. And how much they need care just as much as a newborn baby!

Week One

The week back from Winter break I started to finish my Dallas Cowboys design for the plasma cutter. When I finished I realized that some parts of the Design would fall out. I went back to fix some of the parts that I thought were going to fall out. After I did that I watched the trailer group cut their pieces for the trailer. It was interesting to watch them come together to get it done. I was really wanted to cut a piece but it wasn't my project so I just let them do it. I have an example of what my design looked like before I changed it.
