Hi Tom,

I want it translated into a "to do list."  So, we do not need a summary, or pictures, or an intro.  Just the list of things to do.  You asked if I want a list of what students would be doing, and that is essentially what I want.  The only clarification is that I don't want it evaluated for whether students or someone else would do it, just make a list of everything it says to do.  Put the list in Excel, or make an unformated list in Word (not bulleted) which I can cut and paste into Excel.

This is a really helpful step, so we can review the list with Dean Henson (over building matinenance) and select which items the student groups should do this fall.

Looking at it more closely, I think you need to just go through pages 8-14.  The first page's list would be something like this:

• do the pipes have insulation on them?
• where are the ducts located (inside or outside)?
• check the type of heating system used
• check the fuel type used, if applicable
• check the location of the heating system
• check how many space heaters are used in the building
• check the type of cooling system used
• check the location of the cooling system
• check the furnace efficiency label
• check when the filter was last changed/how dirty is the filter?
• record the filter size

Once you get the draft list written, please email it to me.  I'll set a time for us to talk about it and move forward.

Thanks a ton for your help!

Morgan

Hi Morgan,

I've read it through a few times and I'm wondering how you would like me to summarize this. Have you read it? Even though it is 32 pages, it is a fairly quick read. The first section is a list of the process that already felt like a summary of the following 10 or so pages. The rest is descriptions of the types of windows, doors, etc, and the tools used, as well as some sample forms. I'd rather ask a potentially stupid question than make a potentially stupid stupid summary. Do you want me to pick out tasks that students would be doing and thats it? or summarize the entire manual?
