estimating

i'm currently working on a project for my estimating class. and it is ridiculous! we have this massive set of plans. and we have to count every little thing. and i mean every last one, and give it a price.

luckily today is preliminary due date. we just have to have a general number. something that we can build off of for our final draft.

the only thing is: i'm a nut-case. i am so detail oriented that i've done almost the whole thing. in two days. well, i've done 50% of the mechanical, which i'm sure is more than most of the students. and mechanical isn't even my section!

my current plan is to stop where i'm at on the mechanical and turn it in. also next week i need to 3.5 hours each day (monday through thursday) working on the electrical, in order to provide my other group member with the same amount of work.

then after that it is all about me. and doing my part of the project. 3.5 hours/day seems like a lot when it comes of my part, but i'll probably need it. we'll see when the time comes.

woo! all i can say is that this thing needs to be done!!!!
