   * Place ITMX in guiderod fixture
   * Epoxy guiderod & standoff to ITMX (Afternoon)
   * Cure epoxy (overnight)
 * Fri 19 Feb
  * '''Magnet-dumbbell gluing'''
  * Make up matching sets of magnets using gaussmeter (Morning)
  * Etch magnets and dumbbells using razor blade (Morning)
  * Epoxy magnets to dumbbells (Morning)
  * Cure epoxy (overnight)
  * '''ITMY guiderod gluing'''
   * Place ITMY in guiderod fixtrue
   * Epoxy guiderods to ITMY (Afternoon)
   * Cure epoxy (overnight)
 * Sat 20 Feb
  * No Electricity - No work
 * Sun 21 Feb
 * Mon 22 Feb
  * '''ITMX magnet gluing'''
   * Remove ITMX from guiderod fixture, place in magnet fixture
   * Epoxy magnets ITMX (Afternoon)
   * Cure epoxy (overnight)
  * '''EQ stop preparation'''
   * Talk to Zach - help him get started on this
   * Plan for viton cutting (something to help measure / keep the razor straight while cutting)
   * Cut the Viton
   * Assemble EQ stops (stick the viton in the screws)
 * Tues 23 Feb
  * '''EQ stop preparation'''
   * Zach finish making EQ stops (at least enough for the ITMs...can finish the rest later in the week)
  * '''Hanging preparation'''
   * Balance Optical Table (Morning)
   * Make HeNe OpLev (Morning)
   * Ensure OSEM satellite box is ready, PZT buzzer is ready, and all other preparations for hanging optics
  * '''ITMY magnet gluing'''
   * Glue magnets to ITMY (Afternoon)
   * Cure epoxy (overnight)

 * Tue 2 Mar ('''actual date''')
  * '''ITMX hanging'''
   * Hang and balance ITMX.  (All Day)
   * Epoxy wire standoffs in place after balancing
   * Cure epoxy (overnight)

 * Tue 11 Mar ('''actual date''')
  * '''ITMY hanging'''
   * Hang and balance ITMY.  (All Day)
   * Epoxy wire standoffs in place after balancing
   * Cure epoxy (overnight)

 * Mon 22 Mar ('''actual date''')
  * '''ITMX/ITMY baking''' - done
   * Remove both ITMs from their suspensions (Morning) 2 person job
   * Vacuum bake to clean the optics - 48 hours
   * Leave the 2 ITMs alone in the bake oven
   * Get RGA scan to confirm they're sparkly clean
