josh’s senior project

  5/23/22, 19:45 Today we were finally able to finalize and publish our website to the public! (Here’s the link to that, https://happywheelsdetailing.square.site ). We had some technical difficulties at first when we were trying to book but we figured it out. We have a come to you service as well as a physical location for our detailing so we were having some trouble with the scheduling side of things and such. We finally figured it out and we were able to book a couple family members and close friends for when we start on June 1st. After the completion of the website, I made a small infographic to go on our posterboard which was basically a summary of our website, all on a big piece of paper. I finished that and then we went to school to print it out with a lot of help from Hiedi. Our plan for tomorrow, and tonight, is to work on our self-evaluation essays and finish our poster board. We were unable to obtain business cards and t-shirts due to logistical problems, but our plan i...

  5/22/22, 22:00 Today was another day of just doing our basic detailing process. We were able to detail another car today, as usual, while working towards some other stuff as well. We worked on one of my dads cars which took us just over four hours to do. It was a little messed up and old which is why it took us a little while but it came out pretty solid in the end. I know that Tucker and I are getting more efficient every day we detail and I’m ready to actually get into the busy summer. After the detail we looked into our poster design for our presentation and how we want to portray ourselves during express fest. Our goal was to make a business and do everything in our power to make it look like we started a business so our goal I think will be to make some of the poster what we did, while also incorporating an aspect of marketing and advertising. Are hope is to work on our presentation and finalize things as we move into the last few days of senior project. Day Hours: 5 Total...

  Week 2 Reflection: For Tucker and I, this week was mostly about actually doing the detailing process, and finalizing the last touches on our website and legal documents. We started the week by finishing the majority of the website and working on our social media accounts. We were able to finalize a logo later in the week which made completing the website and social media accounts a lot easier and made them look a lot more professional as well. For their detailing prices, I think we both did a great job of jumping back into it, and getting a feel for what we did a little bit of last summer. Earlier in the week we went around to Concord and some other places to get new chemicals, a vacuum cleaner, microfiber towels, and other various sorts of materials that we were in need of. We took some of the time when we were detailing our cars, to figure out exactly what we needed to get, what we were missing, and what we didn’t really use to come up with an efficient and effective way of d...

  5/21/22, 19:00 On a very warm Saturday in late May, I was surprisingly able to accomplish a good amount of work. Earlier this week we bought a smaller shop vacuum cleaner which I was able to assemble and get working this morning. I also did a little bit of organizing with the materials and supplies we have accumulated over the past couple weeks as well. Once I was done with some of the housekeeping tasks, I started to write a little bit of my self-evaluation paper so I can get ahead on that and not do it last minute. I then worked on my car a little bit as it needed some interior cleaning and wiping down from the spots I missed earlier this week and from a couple spills. Hopefully we can finalize a lot of the logistical things tomorrow and start working more on our papers and presentations as express fest approaches in a few days. I think we are in a good spot going into the last week and I’m excited to see the final product. Day Hours: 5 Total Hours: 47

  5/20/22, 20:00 Today was a ordinary day for Tucker and I. We were able to detail another one of our families cars while still getting back into the swing of things. It took us about 4 hours, as it normally does, and we are slowly getting back into our efficient ways of detailing. We did a little work afterwards on our website and social media accounts and then we were off to school. There wasn’t a lot that we did today that we haven’t really done already, the car was in usual condition and it was just good practice to get working on our detailing abilities. Tomorrow is going to be a scorcher so hopefully our car cleaning abilities won’t be poorly influenced by the scalding May day. Oh I also forgot to mention that we bought a poster board and some supplies for our presentation during express fest. Day Hours: 5 Total Hours: 42

  5/19/22, 22:00 Although a rainy day, Tucker and I were able to get a lot done today. We spent most of the day detailing one of our cars and did a full detail which we haven’t done in a very very long time. We always start with the interior and work towards the exterior to finish, however, the exterior came a little quicker as the rain was able to help us out. The whole process took us about just over four hours due to the rain and also the fact that we haven’t done a complete job in a little while. It went pretty well and we look forward to getting some more work done in the near future. We have our parents and a couple other clients lined up so it should be interesting to see where the next couple week go. Day Hours: 4.5 Total Hours: 37
