holy cow! it's late!

so i'm at it again. more estimating. this is how much time it takes... currently my entire life. i've been poking around, and i just realized that it is almost 5pm. i didn't mean to start so late today. but i did have to stop off at staples to get a memory stick. so tomorrow i won't have to lug my external hard drive to new york as well as the massive set of plans i have next to me. well see how useful the thing is. 2 gigabytes... not bad. i remember when a kilobyte was pretty good. now we've moved onto terabytes(?).

but back to the estimating. i have a lot to do. i picked out all of the sheets i have yet to look at, and there's a lot of them. the ultimate hope is that it will go by quickly. i have the entire architectural section to do. yesterday i established which wall types will ultimately get the exact same amount of materials, and decided to deal with them in these groups. that way i can count more types at once, and establish how much i need of a material much faster. we'll see if this works. wish me luck!
