Today I finished cutting out the areas of grass. Paint for the parking lot needs to be bought, along with sand to give the parking lot texture. I also need to buy material that looks like brick for the walk ways.

This week so far everything on the site has been laid out accordingly. I began cutting out the areas of grass needed for the landscape and laying them out on the model. I realized that I need to buy more grass to finish the model.

This week the walls began to be constructed by my other group members. I began to layout the parking lot and other pieces of the site. The whole site was printed out to ensure that placement of the pieces of the parking lot and landscape all went on the right spots.

This week so far the foam core board for the base of our model was cut out. The board was cut out to be 24" by 24", following the TSA Regulations. The printed out site plan was also cut to this size.

Today the floor plan was printed out at the appropriate scale. There was some trouble deciding on what the scale should be, and printing out the floor plan on the plotter proved to be harder than anticipated. The final plot was printed out and left over night until today.
