Small groups are in session, and things are getting real. On the bright side, my group members and I all seem to have similar ideas about where we want to go with our design. Once it was clear that we would, in fact, be building atop a mobile home chassis, the momentum had us feeling [...]
Final Review-As Nicole posted, we had our final review on Monday. Everyone worried about the weather that day morning, however, the weather had miraculously turned fine in the afternoon.
