Week 7 goals

Review the requirements for the Proposal intro, after having reviewed them, complete the introduction and title page for the Proposal.

Week 6 End

After rigorous researching about the various parts, I have come to the conclusion that all parts are compatible with each other, but I will need thicker wire than initially expected, solar panels take one to week to ship, all other parts are in stock and ship in 2-3 business days. The lumber is at home depot and can be purchased.

Week 6 goals

Send out emails regarding finding an individual to mentor me. Research more into details about the parts required, check that everything is compatible with each other and there are no conflicts between different parts. Also check what parts are in stock.
