Winter Term Is Over
I’ve come to the end of my time with this project, and I unfortunately could not get to the insulation part for a variety of reasons. I apologize for not updating the past week, but as the days went on I realized there was little chance of me producing anything of value. I decided that … Read more
Door Frame
Yeah, so that’s my door frame. I’m sorry about the poor image quality of that photo and the other 2 I have, but I still haven’t found my phone charger, and I’m using my webcam to take those pictures. This would be an OK solution for me, but my webcam is broken, and will stop … Read more
Washer and Grommet
Alright, so I’ve been doing a bit of online research into the world of Rubber washers and metal grommets, and let me tell you it is a scary world. First of all, in all my searching I have not seen one mention of using grommets in plastic. Everywhere everyone is using grommets in fabric and … Read more
Pesky Plastic
As I’ve mentioned, my plan of insulation is a layer of plastic on the outside and inside of my frame. In a sense it will be like a greenhouse. It seems logical then, that I should get some greenhouse plastic to do the job. When I went to Home Depot I asked about greenhouse plastic … Read more
Vacation
I was under the impression for the past week that my girlfriend would be gone from tomorrow through the weekend for a SYRF (Spiritual Youth for Reproductive Freedom) conference/lobbying party. This morning, however, I overheard a voice mail that a coordinator sent Lucy saying that there were extra spots at the conference if she wanted to bring … Read more
Proof and assembly.
I told you all I built it… that’s me on top of the dome, for those who forget what I look like. I was very pleased with the outcome. After I built it I found trouble sending myself home, and I spent about an hour ogling the structure before I left. While I wish I … Read more
Still No Camera…
My phone charger is still missing. Lucy has a camera of sorts, and I’m going to figure out today if it’s capable of taking pictures. I Know I said I’d get photos up today, but you may have to wait another day (mom).
I Built It.
It’s late and I’ve just finished erecting the frame and tightening all of the bolts down. I really wish I could have done a blog post about the assembly process, but as I mentioned earlier, my phone is dead. I even walked for 10 minutes in the snow back to my room to find my … Read more
Bending
After a relaxing weekend I went in today to do the bending and hopefully some assembly. Unfortunately when I got here I realized my phone was low on batteries and incapable of taking pictures, so there are no photos to accompany this post. I decided not to let that hold me back, so I’m including … Read more
