Final Update #6
Feb 25th, 2012 by evergreenplanter
This week we completed our construction of our three boxes. Over 33 hours of work were put in by our group, and unfortunately not our whole group was here to complete it as half of us were away for reading week. There were few complications and miscommunications that caused the build to run longer than expected. Trying to coordinate permissions and space between Mr. Rigolo, the rusty hut shop technicians, and the client were all small impediments that pushed our delivery time back.
Here is the implementation stage day-by-day hour overview.
- Friday, February 17th, 2012 – 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm (4 hours).
- Saturday, February 18th, 2012 – 9:00 am to 11:00 pm (14 hours).
- Tuesday, February 21, 2012 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm (7 hours).
- Wednesday, February 22, 2012 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm (7 hours).
- TOTAL IMPLEMENTATION HOURS: 32 hours.
On Friday, the pieces were cut to length by Rusty Hut technicians. Small technicalities of place and time were coordinated with different people for further build.
On Saturday, we rented a power drill and constructed the rectangular boxes. Components for construction were transferred to the Evergreen site for further build days.
On Tuesday, we began construction on the octagonal box and a large part was complete. On Wednesday, the finishing touches of building were completed. With the help of the Civil Truck, the boxes were tied onto the back and slowly travelled to Great Northern Way campus where Evergreen is located.
The Evergreen planter team is AMAZING! It sounds like the communication challenge reared it’s head – but that you persevered and overcame the problems! It looks like you have done a terrific job. I’m looking forward to the de-brief (i.e., the team interview).
Congratulations on this fine work.
