DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
During the design process our main goal with this mock-up was to acquire feedback from the experts about our design. Earlier in the semester, as a team, we came up with design ideas that were innovative and cost-effective for our farm kitchen. We worked hard this weekend to put all these ideas together and built [...]
This week we had the opportunity to work with Fine and Small Homes, to CNC cut some of our sim-ply parts for the Crop Stop 2 mock-up. The Fine and Small Homes firm uses similar technologies to develop their parts. We were able to consult with them about their methods of production and compare the [...]

Yesterday evening around 5:45, we arrived to Clemson for our weekend of helping build the Solar D project. At 6:00 everyone met at Rick's Pizza Pub in Pendleton. At dinner, we got to meet with the rest of the Indigo Pine team. We also went over the initial itinerary for tomorrow and the rest of [...]
After multiple preliminary red lines from our professors and others around the project, we have finally got our construction documents to level that we need to send them to the engineer. Now that they have been sent off, we will wait on the engineer to approve or deny the proposal and make the necessary changes [...]
Over the last couple of weeks we have been working on construction documents to send to the engineer. We're getting our first taste of an actual document set that has to be approved before construction can start, and overall I think this is an awesome experience and opportunity that we may not have again in [...]
Finally we got redlines from professor Pastre. It looks like we are almost done with the construction documents. After all the feedback we have received, now we are ready to make the final changes on our documents and have them ready for approval. We have worked really hard to have the documents complete and we [...]
The definition of redlining when it comes to a document is " a process by which changes are identified between two versions of the same document for the purposes of document editing and review". There is another definition about redlining an automobile, and that is when a person drives at or above the cars maximum rpm. Both of [...]
After our review Monday, we got a lot of positive feedback and also found plenty of things we need to put more work into. We've narrowed our materials down for the exterior, interior, and roof. We seem to be leaning in the direction of T1-11 plywood siding for the exterior, and PBR for the roof. [...]
This past Monday was our first major review in studio V. I think it went very well, we had great feedback on pretty much all of the components in the review of Cropstop 2.0. My specific part was the initial electrical and plumbing layouts. The reason I chose these areas is because I have a [...]
