Last Day of Building!

On the last day of building we finished a lot! We figured out how to get multiple pictures for the price of one picture. We all listened to each other and finished a lot. We spent exactly $15,000! We have cute little animals on our farm and a red carpet! We all really had fun working on this project, and we created a stronger friendship!

Last day :(

Today is our last day, and we are putting our finishing touches on the building. Because our building is a lake house, we decided to include moss to make it look more like a swamp. Throughout this project, I feel that my group has worked really well together and comprimising was easy for us. Our technigques while creating this projecr seemed to work extremely well because every time we did a shake test, our building stood strong. I'm very excited to do another group project just like this one!

Last Day!!!

We spray painted our building brown and almond. We decided to get pebbles and sand to make the building a modern-beach-complex! We made a pebble path and put moss around the edges! We have a front door that's made out of Styrofoam.

We had lots of fun doing this project! :)

Today we finished the apartment and used paper printed pictures. I loved working with my group and we had lots of fun. We added a stone path and brick pictures. I have had such a fun time working with my group on this project.

Day 3 of Building, Last but NOT Least

We finally finished with time and money to spare! Our stable (hopefully) building is surrounded by a ring of moss, and has 6 supporting wood sticks to hold it together. We tried to do an original design by doing a tall building with cross bracings. We tried to go beyond just a box. Everyone's designs, from bricks to clock-towers, look amazing and I am excited to test them out!!

Final Building Day!!!

Chloe, Eliza, Ashton, and I (Alex) finally finished our roof top basketball court!!! We also added a garden in the front and back. YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Our Finishing Touches, and Tearful Goodbyes

What a great last day! But, of course, trouble found its way to our group. At first we were deeply above budget, but thanks to another group, we managed to sell our clay for $1,000! At the end of the class, our building looked great, and Matthew, Chris, Lulu, and I felt extremely relieved. Hopefully it survives the shake table!:)

Day 2 Building Assignment

Today, our last official day of building, we finished our roof ( balsa wood and a skylight made with plastic wrap), and decorated the outside walls with red clay to act as paint. We used less hot glue than last time and cut a few deals, so, I personally think today has been a good day. Topper finally glued and did a good job, and so far, building is so beautiful ( it's red!). As you can see, it's wonderful!!!

2nd day... and still working...

We got our building structure done. It is a colorful pentagon and it has a white top. The reason for the building is a Mountain Animal Veterinary Association and what the people do there is care for animals in the wild. The association is known as MAVA and is a popular place for well trained vets to go. All we need to is write on the left over felt "MAVA -Mountain Animal Veterinary Association" and another banner looking thing with our names on it. Another thing we need to  is put maybe grass or sand or gravel, etc just to give it a nice wildlife look. Maybe even paint it.

RLBI Industries

Today is our second day building. our building looks good. We're still trying to figure out our roof.

I have had a great time working with my group. We made an awesome house with floor to ceiling windows, a skylight, and a pool. I can't believe we are down, and I am amazed with the final look!

Today we finished glueing our building but tomorrow at lunch we will decorate make our building AWESOME! Hotel innovation is underway and will be opened very soon.

Hey guys, it's day 2 of the EQ building challenge.

I think that we're ready, but the flag on the top is a little loose. My teammates are Teddy, Quinn, Dara, and me. I hope our hard work pays off!

VICTORY - day 2

TODAY WAS A SUCCESS!!! 

We finished our building with $5000, that meant that we had some money to decorate our building. After adding graffiti, a sign and other touches around the structure, we ended up with $3200. Our building not only looks cool, but it can take a 9.0 earthquake. All in all today was a huge success!!!

Day 2 - Troubles are overcome

Troubles haunted us last class. But today, we overcame them with adding a box on top of our rickety, thrown together, last minute plan. We took out one piece of baltic wood, and added four nails to the base. We make a good team, the team of Table 3. We make a good team, and we overcame all our worst plans from day 1.

Day 2's Adventure!

Today was day 2 for building our structure to withstand an earthquake, and we are doing great, but we also had a few problems. I am in a group with Brandon, Cici, and Reina and our first problem today was that our walls for our octagon were uneven. We had to take out the walls, and since the height was uneven, add some balsa wood on the bottom of them to raise them up. We are, as we speak starting to shape the roof that we are making out of cardboard. We are binding together the walls also with clay because, not only were they uneven, but they were also on the verge of collapsing. We are also coloring our walls  to make the look like bricks. We are doing great, and even if more problems come, we are ready for the challenge!

Building day 2

Today we started putting the finishing touches on our building, like the roof and different kinds of fabric. We didn't seem to have any problems and we were getting things done quickly. We tested different kinds of materials to cover our building so it would look more like a house, and everything worked out. We had an awesome time building today, and we got a lot done!

Building day 2

We started building and we are almost finished with the roof and then we will do decorations for the apartment. The building is sturdy enough to be in an earthquake. The walls are all put up.

2nd Building Day!!!

Chloe, Ashton, Eliza and I (Alex) decided to make our school a little bit bigger by adding a second level. We also added a basketball court on top. Almost done!!!!!

Our Second Day in Action

Our first day was definitely filled with ups and DOWNS. We spent a very long time putting in the pipes, but then realized we placed them in incorrectly! But we replaced them and filled them with sand, and now our building is extremely sturdy. We also 3-D printed our clock tower, and are about to do the roof! Wish us luck!
