Allyson is about three-quarters of the way through with building the storage unit with the PVC pipes attached and Kelly is assisting in the completion of this portion. \u00a0Brad is approximately 50 percent done with machining the tubes and end pieces. Brad is also working on testing glue to have a strong enough hold between the pieces in order to create a vacuum seal while Kelly does the vacuum tests after the pieces are put together. Sam has finished the back-lighting and has moved into testing. Chris finished his spring tests and completed the order.<\/p>\n
