Sara and Kevin met at the plant today. Kevin calked the bottom panell panel of the tank to prevent upwelling during operation. Caulking the bottom adequately is very important because if it does not seal properly, then more time will be necessary to fix the problem. The walls were wiped down to make sure dirt or particles wouldn't effect the cohesion to the wall. Also, the edges were vacuumed to get dirt and water left over under the crack. This could also effect cohesion. Kevin also helped Tom cut the in-flow pipe in order to put in the flow meter. The flow meter was not fully installed because Tom had other stuff to do. Sara refitted the baffle connections in section 2 since we noticed that many of the connections were loose or broken.

Kevin and Dave went to the plant to try to get the plant running. However, the in-flow pipe had not been put back together (the flow-meter was supposed to be installed), as Tom had promised. Instead we figured out a way to support the in-flow bucket using metal braces. Decided on a design with Tom, and are going back tomorrow to work on it.
