Entry #18: The Power of Lists

Another post! Two posts in one period this has got to be a record. This time it's all about the lists. I have a lot of lists to make though so this comes easy.

For example here's the materials I need, a list you guys have already seen:
-Styrofoam or plastic cooler (I'll probably do Styrofoam)
-Duct tape
-Light bulbs and a lamp (25 watt suggested)
-Temperature and humidity monitor (use one as accurate as possible)
-Bowl with a sponge in it
-Chicken wire (quarter inch squares suggested)
-Clear piece of glass or plastic (from a picture frame suggested)
-Fertilized chicken eggs (of course)

A list in order of how much this will cost me (roughly):
-Styrofoam cooler = free
-Duct tape = $2.00
-25 watt bulbs and a lamp = $7.00
-Temperature and humidity monitor $10.00
-Bowl with a sponge in it = free
-Chicken wire = $10.00
-Clear piece of glass or plastic = either free or $5.00
so that's going to be more or less around 30 dollars. Then I have to figure out how much the chicken eggs will cost me and where I'm getting them from.

So far I'm at about $180 or so? Oh gosh that sounds like a lot:( I guess it's time to write a proposal for a grant!! And start doing some chores for my dad..fun...

I've asked my mom if she had any materials and sent her a list of them. I'm sure she has some but I'll need to get some other ones too! I should be getting some materials this week and setting it all up next week or so!
