Seems like blogging is always least important of the things I have to do. Tuesday through Sunday were spent (in rough order) refining the floor plan, drawing it in CAD, and designing our mechaninical system to the point that we know it doesn't conflict with our structure. We'll have to look into it more later on.
We had been working without a schedule, due to the fact that every time we made a schedule during the first few weeks, a kink was thrown in by Prof. Monson. Maybe that's inevitable. No new kinks had been thrown in several days, so we decided, on Thursday, to make a new schedule. We decided to be done with mechanical research, structural grid, interior performance criteria, schematic exterior elevations, and (more or less) final plan drawings in CAD by Wednesday, and to finish wall sections and some other things by the Monday of Thanksgiving week. BUT, we were told Friday at 4:00 to have sketched wall sections instead because Prof. Monson wants to talk about them Monday.
Not only does this mess up our schedule, but it isn't entirely possible, as we can't really do wall sections until we've done exterior elevations, we just didn't allow time in our schedule to do all of that this weekend (not to mention deal with other classes). Hopefully, Monson won't mind that we only have one (well researched) wall section because of this.
