Jake Hagan-Carson-Day 3

The third day of the trip consisted of commuting to Chichester Collenge to help our group members from there work on our model. When we arrived we had a brief talk about health and safety as we would be working in a workshop and then we went down to look at the current progress of our model. Paul had made a great start of making the main frame of the shipping containers and cutting out the panels that would make up the steel part of the walls. A picture of our model when we arrived can be found in the picture below.

We started by splitting up the group into individual jobs, I decided that I would begin with work mainly on the walls. I started by creating the fold down section of the wall that woud make up the decking. I did this by cutting the wood with a jigsaw. I then screwed the hinges attached to the decking panel into the frame of the container. As the panel was the right size we did not have to create a fastner for the door, it simply fitted well into the frame. A picture of me cutting the decking piece can be seen below. The next job I did was to create the stud walls which would make up the partition walls for the bathroom, I found this harder than I first thought as getting the very small pins to line up with the bits of thin timber was hard. I eventually made one fo the stud walls and george dd the other. We decided to not finish one of the faces as we wanted to show the structure of the wall inside. By the end of the day I felt like we had achieved a fair amount and was happy with how it looked sofar, knowing that Paul and Rob were going to carry on with the construction of it on thursday. A photo of how it looked after their work on thursday is shown below.
