week 11 end

10/31/14 

  • I researched plastic materials some more and found out several things. HDPE is one of the most quality-cost efficient materials. A 3/32 in. thick, 24'' by 48'' sheet costs approximately 20 dollars. That is a good deal. If i used this material, it would cost me around 60 for the sheets, as 3 would be enough. The recycled plastic sheets can be quite expensive, coming out to 60 dollars for one 24' by 48' sheet. If i won't be able to get sponsored, I'll have to settle with HDPE instead of recycled plastic. I found one site which sells the recycled sheets for a good price(4' by 8' for 57 dollars), but you have to order at least 7.
