The team traveled to the Habitat for Humanity Lafayette affiliate office today to meet with the volunteers and install solutions. The data team met with HFH volunteers to ask questions and receive feedback on their new design for the app and the location of the raspberry pi device. With the feedback from the HFH employees and volunteers decisions about design can be made and the project as a whole can progress. The loft team took the time at the HFH office to install the pool noodle solution for the safety of volunteers or employees traversing the loft. With the pool noodle installation complete the loft team is now completely focused on the sign storage and railing designs.
Beam Safety Completion
We were able to wrap up another stage of our project today! The loft of HFH had low-hanging beams, which would be very easy for a worker or a volunteer to run into and hit their head on. To help prevent injury, we installed a simple but effective solution: pool noodles! By cutting a line in the pool noodle, and gluing it wrapped around the beam, we were hopefully able to add some much-needed cushioning to the beams. Soon to come will be a caution sign that helps warn of the conditions.
