totally forgot to post my original outline here it is

Project:
To learn about the types of composite materials and how they can be applied in Kamloops homes.

Method:
- learn about the most popular composite materials
- how these materials are made
- find out how they can be applied to Kamloops homes
- find out how much longer they will last compared to traditional materials
- find out if its cost effective
- find out if composite materials result in a greener way of looking at construction

Special Problems:
- finding a way to make composite materials affordable so they can be used more frequently in homes in Kamloops.

Also:
- all topics that I look at will be dealt with. I have no intensions of overlooking any questions at this point.
