What a Weekend!

This has been a huge weekend for CMSS. We have moved into our new space in Hamburg Hall, transfered the hull foam cross sections to the "boat yard," and have continued working on the plug. Because of spring break, we have been able to devout countless hours to the project. It is a lot more fun than doing book work, that is for sure!
To better understand what we have been doing, here are some pictures!

Inside these doors is a 5 ton crane, blast furnace, and Carnegie Mellon's first on-site boat yard.
