Today I was able to continue work on my floor plan and continue dimensioning. I have begun to dimension the interior of the building and the exterior. I had to go back and fix the exterior wall dimensions in order for them to be even measurements. After I finished this I was able to continue dimensioning. I need to be done with this drawing by the end of next week in order to stay on schedule.

Today in class I was able to continue work on my floor plan. I was able to determine that the exterior walls of the building must be even measurements or be on the odd 4' or the even 8'. This will need to be corrected on my drawing and adjustments will need to be made.

Today I was able to complete the bid process for the balsa wood necessary for model construction and the cedar mulch that would be used in landscaping if I were to actually build the facility. I was able to find four companies that supply balsa wood; Balsa USA, National Balsa, Solarbo, and Alvin Inc. I also found three companies for cedar mulch. I recieved two email confirmations on purchase orders for balsa wood from Balsa USA and National Balsa. The other two companies have yet to respond. I finished the bid process sheets by writing the company informatoin and fax number on the sheets.

Yesterday and today during class I was able to create and complete my marking period 2 calender. I created this calendar in document form and included the following tasks;

• mentor contacts
• logs
• drawings
• due dates
• days off

After completing my calendar I was able to begin working on my bid process. I have decided to complete two seperate bid processes. One would be pretaining to the model and the balso wood necessary. The other would be in a real life situation, buying mulch for the landscaping. I need to contact the balsa wood companies to see if they accept purchase orders.
