Write problem/project Goal
Develop a case that can be entirely submersed in water without letting water in. You also must be able to open and close the case and put things inside the case.

My First Task
Do an in-depth search of the case provided for me. Check for the places where the case seems the most water-tight and the places where it seems the least water-tight. Check all of the ridges and what the edges of the case look like.

Summary of actual work over first weekend
Did research regarding various types of submersible objects. Once this was completed, analyzed the results of my research to see how what I found might pertain to my submersible case.

Week1 Narrative
Conducted my first test on how waterproof the case was before I did any work on it. I tested it by putting the case in the sink and pouring water over the edges. The case before any improvements is not waterproof. It didn't let a lot of water in but water did get in.

My Second Task
Now that the case has been tested it is time for me to start brainstorming ideas on how to make it waterproof.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
I thought of a few good ideas that would work for the case but I found that some structural problems are holding me back. I will work throughout the week on getting around these structural problems.

Week2 Narrative
The structural problems that I talked about in my work over the weekend are as follows. The inside of the case was meant to hold an electric drill and attachments for that drill so it was molded to fit around the drill and those parts. This means that no one part of the inside of the case is the same level or shape as another part, making it extremely impractical to build any sort of structure within the case. Since nothing can be built on the inside, I have decided to look instead at the edges of the case. My solution for this is to cover the length of the edges of the the case in door insulation. This will make a watertight seal when the case is closed but will also enable the case to be opened and closed freely.

Testing: the test went very well. No water was able to get in through the sealed edges.

My Third task
No more work to do. Project completed.
