2. Compile a list of questions that we have for Habitat for Humanity || o We might run in to scheduling problems when we need to communicate with Habitat for Humanity. ||
 * **TASK STATUS REPORT** ||
 * **Project Description:** |||||||| We will identify the most efficient means for insulating the attic, ducts, and walls. Options will be ranked in order of least overall expense to the homeowner. ||
 * **Project Sponsor:** |||| Habitat for Humanity ||  ||   ||
 * **Program Manager:** |||| Rich Wells || **Project Manager:** Matthew Irvine, Cristina Belew ||  ||
 * Period covered by the report: |||||| January 18 to January 25 ||
 * **Accomplished This Period:** ||
 * 1. Created a schedule for the completion of the project
 * **Planned But Not Accomplished This Period:** ||
 * 1. All deliverables were completed for this task. ||
 * **Objectives To Next Reporting Period:** ||
 * 1. Communicate with Habitat for Humanity to determine answers to our ||
 * **Risks/Outstanding Issues/Problems:** ||
 * * Scheduling conflicts











2. Calculate the theoretical values for all of the simulations completed in SolidWorks. || 2. Complete a revised time line with more detail and stronger time expectations. || o We are combating this issue by reworking our schedule to include specific times and goals on a day to day basis until the completion of this project. o We maintain our confidence that we will meet our final deadline. ||

 * Period covered by the report: |||||| November 16 to November 30, 2010 ||
 * **Accomplished This Period:** ||
 * 1. We did not complete either deliverable for this deadline. ||
 * **Planned But Not Accomplished This Period** ||
 * 1. Complete FEA simulations to determine the rates of heat loss for each type of insulation for the attic, duct, wall, and varying stud size.
 * **Objectives To Next Reporting Period:** ||
 * 1. Build the FEA models in preparation to run tests.
 * **Risks/Outstanding Issues/Problems:** ||
 * * Scheduling issues

2. Determine what factors will have an affect on the total cost of ownership to the homeowner. || 2. Calculate the theoretical values for all of the simulations completed in SolidWorks. || o We have been finding it increasingly hard to find time that we are both available. As our work load increases, it may be very difficult to complete our intermediate tasks on time, but we still believe we can meet the final deadline. ||
