FUBAR and fitting floors

Dan gets the floor right.

  "We planed the floors to level them. Rashid and Bryan practiced planking. 

Brianna, Dan and Gersty worked on floors by chiseling and beveling. Dan messed up twice, Gersty 3 times and Brianna had it right the first time. Because as Gina said, girls have more patience.

Ian worked with Nick to line off.

Also Gersty got a review on physics and how force wand mass have an effect on how fast a piece of oak could be beveled down. 

Chico was busy with his girlfriend and Stanajah got lost on her way over here. 

Also Rashid and Dan enjoyed some fresh Mediterranean cooking before heading over here. 

Brianna shows them how it's done.

FUBAR -- Gersty gave his students a lesson on what FUBAR means. He said it means 'Fixing Up Boats And Rafts' but we thought it meant something else"
