Weekly Update 11/20-11/24

11/20
I have compiled the list of materials necessary for the assembly of my completed product. Now I must prepare my bid sheet to be sent out to the board for consideration.

11/24
Fortunately, I do not need much funding for my project, as it is relatively low budget. Therefore, my bid sheet will only contain a hose to attach my nozzle and my partner’s pump to.

Weekly Update 11/13-11/17

11/13
I have been periodically updating my blog, hoping to make it as presentable as possible to be considered at a later date. I have relabeled several different posts to hopefully make it more organized.

11/17
The bid process for these supplies is due on December 4th, as it must be presented to the board shortly thereafter. My priority right now is to make my supply and parts list of the items that I need to build my finished product.

Mentor Contact 6

Student: Anthony Fischer
Date: 11/9/09
Contact: Paul Fischer (Father), Personal Visit
Reference: Nozzle Design
Questions: How do pressure washers work?
Discussion:
Today, my father and I ventured out of the safety of our home to excavate nozzles from several different locations that bore less than favorable conditions. We picked up three new nozzles, one of them from a pressure washer (unfortunately, it is still attached to the handle and is quite cumbersome). These are now in my car and I am driving to school tomorrow. I hope to play around with them with Sam and figure out how exactly some of these work, so perhaps we can find something we can change or add on to our own design.

Weekly Update 11/2 and 11/6

11/2
Mentor contacts are due soon, and I must update my blog to include them. I have eleven points worth of contacts, but I have not put them up on my blog just yet.

11/6
My mentor contacts were not in the proper format, and now I must go back and correctly log them into my blog. Eleven points will allow me to recieve the full one hundred percent of the points for mentor contacts, ten points.
