===5/31===
Arrived at FeF at 10:30 AM. Thanks to [[Chris DeAngelis]] for picking me up.
<br/>Went grocery shopping.
<br/>Moved CEB rollers to dry location under old workshop eaves.
<br/>Helped [[Jose]] begin to move and reorganize hardware from old workshop.
<br/>Practiced MIG Welding under [[Jose]] and [[Brianna]]'s helpful supervision. Need more practice.
<br/>Began work on FeF disposal infrastructure redesign.
<br/>Tasks this week:
:Locate site for trash units
:Design & Build Trash units for segregated trash
:Collect & organize construction waste around site
===6/1===
Assessed distributions of recyclable materials in area surrounding HabLab, workshop, and old workshop.
<br/>Built structure for dry storage of biomass and construction wood scrap for burning. Much thanks to [[Chris DeAngelis]] for all his help.
<br/>Contemplated household recycling storage
*Design would need to both store 1-3 months of materials (depending on amount of visitors at FeF)
*Needs to be easily moved manually onto truck bed
*Made of materials already on site
Two options presented themselves:
#5 gallon paint buckets.  Advantages: Abundance of buckets on site. easily transported when full of heavy materials, can be used inside house then simply capped and brought outside.
#55 gallon rain barrels. Advantages: Abundance of barrels on site. stores more material in less space than stacked 5 gal buckets
Decided to go with rain barrels because the main advantage of 5 gal buckets, that they are easily transported, was nullified when [[Yoonseo Kang]] and I lifted a 55 gal bucket full of glass (heaviest configuration of recyclable household mats) the height of a truck bed.
<br/>Stil Need to do:
:Organize materials outside hablab
:Organize materials in area surrounding workshops
:Find someone to take old cars
:Fabricate recycling barrels.
Video is a brief look at current material distribution and a view of new wood scrap & biomass storage spot:

===6/2===
Felt tired for most of the morning. Drank a cup of coffee and was ready to go at ten. Need to get to bed before 1AM from now on. Already breaking that rule tonight...
<br/>Organized HabLab construction materials. Took most of the day.
<br/>Collected wood for burning to stock wood pile.
<br/>Reassessed water management at wood pile site. Designed a water management system. Cut materials.
<br/>Rake broke so I got to practice welding while fixing.
<br/>Acquired SolidWorks 2010 from [[Yoonseo Kang]]. I plan to document my entire learning experience with SolidWorks. It will be my first time using CAD so this will be an experiment to see how long it takes someone to learn and then contribute to the project. Here are my thoughts on the process:
*Record entire time while using the program
*On-screen timer while recording.
*Video recaps with voice-overs on sped up recordings discussing what I did.
*Start with tutorial, then some practice, then CAD the sawmill.
Will be interesting to see how long this takes. It will take place mainly in my off time. For screen capture software I will try to use [http://sourceforge.net/projects/camstudio/ CamStudio] which is open source.
<br/>I felt like WALL-E today when I was cleaning the construction site. It was difficult work on my own. I really enjoyed it, though. Tomorrow I will build my water diversion system, stock the woodpile, and begin the recycling bins.
<br/>Tasks still remaining this week:
:Complete woodpile
:Build Recycling Bins
:Organize scattered materials around workshops and in fields
::Will need to use tractor to do that. Need to practice driving that
:Find someone to take junk cars. Have a lead on that thanks to [[Brianna Kufa]]
I've thought about long-term outdoor metal storage. We have large (3'x3' ish) concrete slabs that can be laid together outside the workshop to create a space for that. Could be something to tackle after we get the cars hauled away.

===6/3===
Finished water diversion at woodpile.
<br/>Practiced Flux Core Welding. Shot some footage of the machine for a video for future visitors.
<br/>Strained my back and neck while digging the canal for that. It's pretty serious. Need to take it easy for the next day or so.
<br/>Tasks remaining this week:
:Build Recycling Bins
:Organize scattered materials around workshops and in fields
:Call Steiner's Auto Salvage to see if he can take the cars

All the exterior module Cheatsheets I've been uploading are looking at the module from the exterior of the building which may be confusing when it's time to install electrical boxes. Probably will just stick with the scheme for the first floor and start drawing the cheatsheets from the interior for the 2nd floor.

Hydraulic DCV Comparison

Scalable CEB Circuit. Up to 3 PowerCubes with hydraforce part. GPM numbers assume 30gpm pump. Pump can be replaced with intake manifold. Scale to 3 powercubes input. Quick disconnect one and put it on tractor. Put it back. etc.
