The Little Things

The past week has been filled with all of the little tasks that need to be accomplished in order for the work on the plug to be completed. Saturday, Nick, Tim, and myself worked on installing lighting and paper flooring for the spray tent. We also hosted tours for prospective Broncos. Several more layers of the release agent we placed on the plug, including what we hope to be the final layer, which was added tonight.

The meeting got off to a slow start, but soon the team found direction. Nick and Dr. Kapenga gave the entire team updates about progress and goals on both the mechanical and electrical sides of the project. Once the Sparky's (Nick's name for the electrical team) headed up to their lab, the rest of us set to work on preparing the lab for the work to come in the next few weeks. The spray tent's wiring was worked on, the plug was test fitted into it, and the floor and walls were re-papered. Extra pieces of plastic were cut and installed to finish sealing gaps in the roof panels.

Meanwhile, Tim and a few other members made a run to the hardware to purchase plywood sheets for the table. After they cut them to size and installed them, the entire team helped as the plug was carefully placed onto it. Another side project that fell into Megan's hands was the task of creating a small collage of photos on the lab door. It turned out great, and we hope it helps create a little buzz on campus, as we rapidly approach our deadline for completion.
