Tiny Home Relocated within Yard.

 Students today in Mr. Connor's 3rd period got together and pushed the tiny home into its new location farther from room 14 door. It had been a tight squeeze moving things in and out of room 14. With the help of a 2-ton floor jack and the assistance of the boys in the classroom, we were able to move the trailer. To move we had to raise the four jacks at each corner of the trailer and then after the move we releveled and reset the jacks. I was not getting much help from the district with borrowing a forklift to make the move.

An electrical 50A plug wire was installed to plug, though not yet connected to the panel. We used 6 ga. wire for the installation.

90 % of the insulation installed.

Holes drilled in studs for hot and cold water lines.

Some cleaning took place in room 14.

We placed the seeds placed in the 1020s on 1/22 in room 13. Students have been watering them daily.

We also repaired the stairs to the Tiny Home after we discovered that the risers were not correctly installed to the platform causing a failure. No one was hurt during the failure.

Then we had some explorers taking the Tiny Home out of level by placing the turn handle back on the lever and lifting the Tiny Home.

Friday Sub Activity -iMovie Three Gorges Dam

I apologize but something has come up that I need to attend to outside of school. So, for today we will continue our activity with iMovie. I would like to see a project about the Three Gorges Dam in China. The Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric dam located in the Yangtze River in China. It was completed in 2003 and is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world, with a generating capacity of over 22,500 megawatts. The dam is approximately 2.3 kilometers long and 185 meters high and was built to control flooding and generate electricity. However, the construction of the dam has caused significant environmental and social impacts, including the displacement of millions of people, alterations to the local ecosystem, and increased risk of earthquakes and landslides.  

I am asking for a minimum of 10 images, some transitions, a beginning and ending title, and some background music. Place the video on your blogger page.

iMovie Introduction
