Week 3, Monday 5/23

I started off with filling out a meeting minute form for the Elizabeth Library project, this included where, with who, when, what was discussed and changes made.

I selected 2 finish options, one for North and one for South Decatur Elementary schools, this included, field paint colors, accent colors, wall base, door paint, vinyl tile, carpet, laminate and solid surfacing. Terrazzo also had to be selected for this project, so Amanda gave me a terrazzo 101 class. I learned a lot about terrazzo that I had absolutely no clue about. Terrazzo is 100% custom (unless you order a pre-made spec). It starts with base which is an apoxi mix and comes in just about any color. Next you select the chips that you want to be mixed in with the apoxi. There are Italian chips, glass chips, and American or Domestic chips. We only picked from the selection of domestic chips due to our budget. Amanda and I choose 6 different mixes that we wanted for the project and then sent in a sample order for them. The rest of my day consisted of ordering samples for the project.

*I am on vacation the rest of the week and will pick back up 5/31, after Memorial Day
