Expectations
Before The Experience, what did you think would happen?
Before I started my experience I believed it would be a simple build for a two person team of my dad and I. I planned on learning many valuable skills that would help me later if I decided to ever do something like this in the future.
What did you plan to gain from an educational stand-point?
At the beginning of the project I planned on learning many skills in carpentry that I would be able to use in my future. Whether it be on something for private use such as this project, or for a career. I also planned to design the concept of the cover using engineering skills learned in school.
What new Knowledge did you hope to gain from this experiance?
I hoped to learn how to use my hands, and other carpentry skills. Some example of things I hoped to learn would be thing such as, how to use a power saw and how to attach metal sheeting to a plywood roof.
What new relationships did you gain from This experiance?
I gained a working style relationship with my dad. He treated me as an employee and set standards accordingly. We added that level to our relationship where he respects me as a worker and a son.
How did you think you would benefit from your involvement?
I thought that I would benefit by learning valuable life skills that every young man should have. I also hoped to benefit by learning carpentry skills. I also believed I would benefit by being able to put the skills learned in engineering class to use in a real world setting.
