Problem 2

Logo for the deck
Deck the logo was going onto

For problem 2 Mike Nesreen and I were tasked with the turnover of a two shows within 24 hours. On the Friday there was a concert being played with a talent show and the day after the Saturday there was the Haunted Hotel in which the scenery had to be completely black. The challenge for our team was how were we going to do the change over. Building the deck and stairs were no problem for us, but the turnover was the challenge. We had the idea of installing vinyl of the logo across the entire deck as the solution to this problem. We had a test piece to stretch the vinyl across the 3/4″ plywood and 1/4″ Masonite and it worked. Personally my biggest struggle since I was doing the drafting was the stairs. This was my first time drawing a stair case in CAD so I was unsure how to approach it or what the correct way to make it was so it can be structurally sound and span the most weight but I got it right and it came out well. We also included our total budget for the entire project including materials and hardware. As far as what knowledge we gained, we got a chance to work with a new material, vinyl as well as get experience with budgeting and trying to make schedules work on really tight timing. The purpose of the problem was to make us get used to using our time wisely and strategizing how to best use the time we had, if something similar were to happen in the field.
