June 5th

We started by going outside and compiling a list of the various sizes of rusted bolts, nuts, screws, washers, etc. as well as taking pictures of the pieces. Some of the hardware was stainless steel, but the rest of the pieces that are made from galvanized steel and need to be replaced. We also started predicting how pieces might fit together. It was a little difficult since we don't have all the pieces yet. When we are finished putting the Viper together, we want it looking as good as new. We then started pricing out the replacement hardware on various websites. We were told to make a new account on McMaster-Carr and so we built an order online using the website. The order was given to Cynthia and she said she was going to start working on it since it was a fairly lengthy order.
