In the words of Van White, fondly known as Master C, “It has been one loooonng day.” Jason and Natalie and Danny Wicke are in San Francisco this week for a conference and we have been left here alone to fend for ourselves amongst each other. Cameron, Frances, and Bill went to help the Dog Pound super-thesis team today. Today, most people were in the Red Barn working on their various tasks that are due Friday for Jason. The crack auto-cad team consisting of John, Adam, and Chris huddled in their little corner all day working away on all the drawings of the church. They have taken on a lot of work to be completed in a short amount of time. They are going back through last semester’s drawings and correcting them to what we figured out this semester. In addition to that, they are doing all of the elevations, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, and much much more. Eric was sick most of the morning so Erin, Sarah, and Jamie worked by themselves on cataloging each members current condition and what kind of repair will be needed on each “customer.” Candace worked on the never ending power point. The idea behind this job is to document the project from the beginning to the end. She and Cameron have been adding upon what the fall semester students started and they will have it up to date so that next semester’s students can follow up with the last steps of the project. Nick Bishop and Golpar continued working on the connections for the rebuilding phase. Walker has been diligently going through hours of film from the year and eventually will be the producer of our Pig Roast video as scary as that sounds. Interestingly, over half of the video footage is a Van the man himself explaining how to organize a trailer amongst many other hilarious outtakes. As for me, I have been sorting through all the files for the project and trying to find some sort of organization as well as trying to find a storage structure for the wood over the summer. The whole idea behind all of these different jobs is to put together some sort of manual for next year’s students to go by when they come to rebuild the church. We were all disappointed that we would not be reconstructing the church this semester like we originally had thought. However, by compiling our drawings, documents, contacts into a construction manual, we will still have our hand in how easily the church goes up in the fall. And now back to watercoloring….
