For my Junior Design class we are doing a group project in effort to teach us how to work in a group on a design project. We are designing a cabin which I was excited about but I am learning that sometimes people get ideas in there head and just don't listen to others. Now I am sure that I do this too but it has been way frustrating so now I am just sticking to my assigned area and will just let the others worry about their areas. I was trying to help give advice since we just built a cabin but they just didn't really listen to me so I'll just keep my comments to myself until they ask or they are just doing something that I know wont work.
I am in charge of the site work and soils. It is not to hard I just got a survey area up on Kolob close to where my families cabin is located. It is an area that interstate is building a subdivision at so it was all surveyed out. I am now trying to find soil properties so I can figure out what we would have to do if we really were going to actually build there. I know a lot from when we built our cabin so that is good. Once they get the structure designed I am going to have to try and figure out how best to place it on the lot that we have chosen and then figure out the run-off water plan and how to handle it around the cabin. I already kind of know how I am going to to do that but the small detials are what I have to wait on until I get the building design. So I have come to realize that sometimes when working in a group that you will have to just wait for others to get something done first before you can do what you need to do.
We also have to create a 15 minute power point presentation every two weeks and so show what are group is getting done. I am suppose to show what I have done but I haven't done anything really because I have been waiting for others to get there work done so I really don't know what to do for my part of the presentation. I will probably just make something up and just BS my way through it for this week and next time actually put the real data in.
