Today was the final day for me at Crowder Construction Company. I enjoyed the many various activities I completed during my stay. On this final day, however, I was motivated to complete as much of a two-day job as I could. I teamed up with Ryan to concur the laborious task of calculating the volume of #57 stone-gravel needed to be placed underneath the structure. We began this task by finding the area of the 20 something sided structure, which would then allow us to find the estimated area. After that, we would determine the areas of any gaps underneath the structure that will not need #57 gravel. The area took us around 3 hours to complete and the volume took another 3. This task was not easy as the computer went into the Blue Screen Of Death and refused to work properly. Despite the setback of the limited calculator access, we achieved a 1.3% margin of error compared to a 25 year professional! This was a huge accomplishment and a great way to end my internship at Crowder.
