Install of Sensors

http://www.nakedpastor.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/tug-of-war.jpg

Trying to co-ordinate the install of the sensors has proved to be a challenge. Since I know very little about either end, I have an Electrical Engineer from the University helping by building the sensors. As an academic, he is about meticulous detail and retesting equipment. On the other end, there is the contractor, who is on a very tight timeline to close the walls up and move forward. Hopefully it all works out.

Be sure to post some pictures of the sensors and their eventual installation!
Funny graphic.

Thanks. I imagine it speaks volumes. I am trying to keep it all up to date. Hopefully the sensors will be installed next weds. if all goes well.
