It has been a good week for concrete canoe. Mold #2 has been completed and will be tested with the shotcrete gun in an upcoming meeting. In this mold we created it as if we were making the final mold. This means we assembled the runners along the bottom and made cuts along the ribs to make it easier to pull the mold out from the canoe.
On Sunday we had our first fundraiser! Our team ran two concession stands at the ISU Women's Basketball game. It turned out to be a good time with lots of free food! On top of that we made 200 dollars!
Our team also received 400 dollars in sponsorship from the letters we sent out at the end of October. Go Team and yay for money!
On wednesday we broke the cement cubes that were made the previous wednesday and now we know the percentage of cementitious materials we are going to use.
Unfortunately we ran into a minor hiccup with our mix design last night but we should have things ready to go soon. Our cross sections from EFCO should be coming in any day now and we can begin work on our final mold. We are still on schedule for a pour day right when we get back from Christmas Break!
