I'm going to bring as many tools as I can
I'm coming with an electric band sander and some chisels and spatula for the putty. Hopefully that'll be enough stuff. I'll need to buy sand paper and stuff though.
Hi guys
Does anyone have equipment to work on the model? I'd like to come but what tools will we use?

Everyone,
Router cut everything successfully yesterday. Total cost for cutting was $60 it was $1.80 per lineal meter. This was not the l/m size of the timber but the total l/m's it took to cut each roof member. So it adds up to $6 each.
This Tuesday from 10am those who are able make it we will be working down in the 24hr space getting the timber finished.
Monday & Tuesday this week the workshop will be closed we wont be able to use any of the equipment (so everything needed on that day will have to be brought by group members) we will be able to get all our timber out of the workshop as there will be someone there all the time.
Also for those that were not there. Our allocated time for our 'complete workshop access' is Thursdays at 4pm-6pm. I know it does not suit everyone but this was the best time out of all the choices.
I am also keeping a record of payments from each person that has given money for the kitty. We are aiming to get from everyone by this Tuesday $50 to start with. So far Raffia, Joel, Jureen, Rose & myself have paid $50. Jason G. $151.20 (of materials) and Noelle $25. Can everyone who hasn't paid the total $50 or yet to pay any please get it to me this Tuesday. I am keeping a record of all expences and payments so we know how much is going out and what we have in the kitty.
Thanks

Hey all,
Jason as applies to everyone in the group, if you buy something for the project ensure you bring the receipt to class as we agreed on and we can divide up the funds up between the 11 of us, otherwise im sure not everyone is just going to bring money without seeing it, as happens in real life:
no receipt, no proof of purchase.

Hey Guys!
I got the plywood, MDF and brackets for the roof. It all cost a total of only $150 so we're WAY under budget. I'm gonna need as much of the money back today though cos I payed for it (obviously).
Unfortunately, I do have to say that if you don't pay, your name doesn't go on the project.
Hey guys,
Before any construction is done, we need the money so we can pay for it, i dont have enough money nor adriano to just go out and pay for all of it ourselves as too expensive. So make sure u bring the money adriano has sent to all of us which will cover for whats needed so far. I suggest we all bring in 100 bucks and put it somewhere and have someone take care of it, and receipts kept for the end when it will be divided up and shared out evenly, however no receipt for something bought, it comes outta your pocket for not keeping it. My suggestion.
I wont be there for the studio as have an interview for the IBL program tomorrow afternoon so if the trailer is still needed please contact me and i will organise it for pick up, just ensure it is returned after being used.
Thanks

Word of Encouragement
Hey all,
Just want to Encourage all of you and say you are all doing an amazing job on this project. Although you may not feel like you are doing much, every little bit counts to the final product.
So dont be discouraged if you feel like you aren't doing much, because you are!
Its is a credit to all of you that we are up to the stage we are at, although it may not seem like we are organised we actually are and we are way ahead of where other groups are at.
This is also shown in how well we work as a group we all get along and get things done which is amazing for such a large group.
So well done and keep up the good work!!!
We are going to need all hands on when it comes to construction which means each one of you will have a role. And we are going to get an awesome outcome of all this. Best urban Shelter EVER!!!
See you all soon

Scheduled Friday Router booking IMPORTANT!!!
Hi all,
Just so you all know we spoke with Des Walters about begining cutting the roof structure this Friday.
We MUST have each of the roof members drawn ACCURATELY by this Thursday on AUTOCAD on the Plywood size we have choosen so everything can run smoothly when it comes to cutting the pieces.
The router ONLY opperates from AUTOCAD so the drawings will have to be done in AUTOCAD.
Adriano are you doing these drawings? Do you have AUTOCAD?If not can you possibly do the drawings at uni? (Or provide me or someone else with the exact dimensions for each piece, so we can get them done) If so you will need to get them done by this Thursday. Des Walters must see the drawings in electronic fromat by 9am Friday to make sure they are OK. as we have booked the router for 2pm.
Also please note my mobile number is incorrect on the information sent out earlier it is infact 0400079521.
Thank Perri :-)

hey, my opinion of the design, yeah i like it, stands out but i think some of the angles in the roof are just a little too small, *at the back, just makes it look a little too overboard, but instead have the angles look more like a wave motion, low to high then back down.
We have been talking about shelter, and having enough for the people when standing and sitting, with it being so high at the back it wouldnt provide much if any
Just my opinion....

About the Model
Hey Adriano, well done! Just exactly how we wanted. I've been asking other groups around where r they getting their materials from. I've been adviced to look at TIP, they got their's for free.And then the recycled stuff in North Geelong.
Will let you guys in on it stuff tomorrow in detail:)So the entire group can decide. Cheers!xoxo:)

Changed Model
Ey guys, I have changed the base of the structure to suit the design and shown where the seat will be located... I am in the process of altering the seat to suit the design that we agreed on last Friday...

The Seat
I've found a sheet of 1800mm X 1200mm X 25mm MDF for the seat for $24 inc. tax... pretty good hey?!
Because the seat is 600 x 1200 we will get three goes at getting it right from the one sheet or we can do double thickness.
I think I'm going to just go and pick it up today.
I'll then attempt to draw up some kind of seat over the weekend once I have that drawing we did of it or I might just guess for now.
Anyway, progress is good. See you all soon!

Discussion Dwg
[NOTE : This drawing is inaccurate and was used during discussion on the 22 August 2008, Friday. A copy of PDF files will be sent to your e-mails today. ELEVATION D & SECTION have the same drawing. Drawings will be updated and sent to you as soon as possible. Any confusion, feel free to contact me through e-mail/text. Thanks!]
research
i like how the seats are done here...
maybe this could help with the seat.. hi everyone...
i'm not sure what's happening with the roof ....
are we meant to do anything before wednesday about that
i feel like i'm not doing anything at this stage of the project..
here's just a few imgaes from the web i found...
Nice work
It's AWESOME to see you guys are actively using the blog! Personally, I don't have heaps to add at the moment except for some random ideas for supporting the seat. I feel a bit redundant at this stage in the project but I'm still keep to help if anyone needs a hand.
Keep in touch.
Ja.

Research
hey guys,
This is a bus shelter from the Netherlands. I've put this in due to its smooth characteristics, and also that despite the fact that we need it to be structurally possible, we also need to consider its design aesthetics, as discussed on Friday. I hope that we can come to some sort of concreted resolution as to how we are to maintain a smooth design and prevent it from looking too engineered.
I've included this because to me this is how i am perceiving the design of the verandah. It is about the closest image I can find that resembles our intentions.
i was just hovering over the internet over the weekend and the following are some images that caught my eye.

Next Meeting and stuff
Hey all!!
Just a reminder our next meeting for this project is Wednesday 27th @ 2:30pm up in Studio. Hope this all works for everyone. Let me know if you cant come and we will keep you updated on everything that happens.
Also can someone Ju Reen? Post the construction dets. as they are so all group members can look over them and know where we are up to. We will need then to send sketches off to companies for pricing if we want to go with an engineered timber beam/column.
It might also be a good dea if each group member can post regular updates on where they are indvidually up to with the project during the week just to keep everyone in the loop with was is happening and it will give us all an idea what areas are progressing and what needs to be pushed on more.
Alright thanks guys
Hope you all have a great weekend
