June 7th

A trip was taken to Home Depot for the necessary tools required for the project. Items like hex keys, adjustable wrenches, gloves, safety glasses, toolboxes, etc. were purchased. Upon our return we staked out the location of the telescope using orange stakes. Then we organized the tools and placed everything in the toolbox and determined where we were to store everything. Schematics were then drawn up for the platform to run by a civil engineer to make sure the structure will be sufficient. Pricing was also determined for a few different methods for the building of the platform.
