Materials Purchased

- Rubber Inner Tube

Materials Ordered
Goals for Next Week
- With the materials purchased from Lowe's, as well as the 35-gallon fiber drum about to be delivered, the team is ready to begin construction of the flush diverter. Prior to assembly, the 5' PVC pipe will need to be cut into two pieces. We hope to accomplish this task by utilizing the services of the Drexel Machine Shop.
- The draft of the final report is due next week. This preliminary summary of our project will include our up-to-date research on the rainwater catchment system as well as the changes we have made to the design following our initial proposal.
