Nailer

Building the shed is coming along just nicely. This nail gun and I are best friends. We construct walls, toe up studs, attach ply, fix, join and flat out tear it up. I guess you could just put it in simpler terms and call it a power trip; you decide. “WHAM, WHAM, WHAM!” You can’t help but smile. Try it, and you’ll smile too.

As group of engineering students at Utah State University we have been assigned the mission of building a solar powered water heater for Tibetans. Sounds complicated doesn’t it? Well it is. We have to come up with a way to heat water to heat showers in Tibetan schools. During the day the temperature can get up to past boiling, and in the night temperatures fall below zero. Crazy terrain, terrible conditions, low resources, millions of miles away and we smile. Most engineers would beg for such good conditions. Ha ha ha, no challenge to big; no cause to small. Keep watching to see how the tests go. In these pictures you will see how we are building the housing station for the 50 gallon water jugs, and setting up the perfectly angled ramp for heating water in pipes.

The test: building.
Why: to learn, grow, become a man, and you know the basics of building.
Questions? : None?
What: This poor sand box will soon be demolished and daddy’s shed filled with toys and goods will be built in its place. In my construction class at school we are building sheds. So this lucky family gets a college hand built Grade A shed. I'll keep you updated on the building process.

My roommate Levi and I decide to enter the USU Institute Derby with this astonishing unbeatable winner. It's called "HAMMER HEAD." Strikes fear into the hearts of all. The trick is that no one can pass it, thus we win. The only flaw was that we couldn’t make it through the finishing gates. Sad eh? Oh well, we have some remodeling to do for next season. Long live Hammer Head.
