sumo secretary

After today I think I just need to take over the name of the sumo secretary. I spent this morning and this afternoon (and as a continuation from friday) talking to the manufacturer and distributors of polycarbonate hollow panels. It was especially amusing today to play them up against one another and even receive a concerned phone call directly from the manufacturer due to concern about the different distributors. I was able to figure out the most efficient and economic option as to how to locate just one panel of the material. It seems uncommon to just need one panel and be willing to pick up the product yourself.

BUDGET UPDATE
$468 - Foam, Masonite, and Gorilla Glue from Lowes on Sunday, September 17th
$20 - Estimated for additional hardware needed for hinge

Its exciting to see the final structure in production mode!
