This week I have been finishing up my final tanker model. The only thing I have left to do is finish the switch and attach the tanker to the other parts of the project. I am hoping to be done by this class because the final product is due tomorrow (DA extended the due date).

Today I will be working on the shut off switch for the tanks. I will also be working with my team to put our projects together.

Today, I will be starting to paint the tanker. Since I have to let this dry I can't work on anything else today.

This week I am planning on finishing the waterproofing, painting, and sealing of the model tanker. I think the caulking will be finished by today. Tomorrow I am planning on sealing the tanker. I plan on starting the painting of the tanker on Wednesday. On Thursday I am planning on finishing the painting. On Friday I am hoping to be working on the switch. This is my schedule as of today, however, things do go wrong so I am not completely sure.

Since the last time I logged, I have finished the construction of the tanks and I have attached the screw eyes for the mooring to my tanker. CML has attached the screw eyes to his false-bottom that will attach to my tanker. Today I plan to attache the tanks to the tanker and I will start the waterproofing.

This weekend I successfully finished the construction of the tanks for the model oil tanker. I now need to put the tanks and the tanker together. After I put the two together I will have to add more caulk and sealer. I will also have to paint the tanker, create the mooring lines, and attach the tanker to CML's piece.

Last week I did not finish the construction of the tanks for the tanker. I encountered a few problems after I cut the pieces of wood for the tanks, and so I had to re-cut the pieces. Today I will try to finish the construction of the tanks. I will also be talking to my team mates about the script for the final video.
