Day 11

As of tonight, I have completed 50 hours of senior project work (the requirement). However, even though our hours have been completed we still have tons of work ahead of us. Today we began by sanding the other half of the sheetrock. This is a physically exhausting job and is never that much fun but must get done. After that, we put the first coat of paint on the first side. It looked pretty good after. Then we broke for lunch. After lunch, to our surprise, the paint had dried enough for a second coat. On Monday we will continue to sand the second side.
Hours: 6:00
Total: 50:00
One side sanded and one painted! 
Sanded side!



Painted side!

Day 1

The moment we rolled into the ski area to begin our day I had no idea what lied ahead. The day started with removing the old lighting fixtures that were down there. However, we made quite short work of that and moved on to putting up strapping. Soon a delivery arrived that we unloaded. But we were soon back on track. At about 12 we broke for lunch. After lunch work started up again. We helped Mike (the school's electrition) rough in the electrical. Day one was a success. Hours: 5:10 Kevin Removing Wiring.  The before shot. Kevin and Adam putting up strapping.  The strapping and wiring in on one-half.

Day 10

When we showed up today the project was looking really good with all the lights cut out. I began by applying joint compound (mud) the second half of the ceiling while Kevin sanded. We also cleaned up the work space. Then Garry came by and told us to clean the surrounding walls to get the room ready to begin paint. We did that and then broke for lunch. After lunch, we continued to clean and prep for paint. We also cleaned the shop floor of urethane. Today was a good day. Hours: 5:30 Total: 44:00 Second half with joint compound! The first half sanded! The first half when we left!

Day 5

Today when we showed up we began by sanding the boards that had urethane on them from the day prior. After that we began to apply the third coat of urethane. While waiting for them to dry we did other work around the ski area like filling in some damage from the winter. After that we broke for lunch. After lunch we put on yet another layer of urethane to make sure it was fully covered after this morning.  Tomorrow we will begin the same way with sanding because we need to make sure that the boards are really smooth and ready for a final coat. Hours: 5:00  Total: 22:50 Filling holes. Boards after urethane and sanding.
