We tried to find certain plywood cut outs that fit the window panels for the green house. When we didn't find any that fit, we measured new ones, and cut them out. By that time, class was over, so we didn't have time to paint them (that's why there is no change).

We worked on the floor of the green house. For this, we placed in the stones, trying to make it nice and leave as little dirt in between as possible. Once we had them set up the way we wanted, we dug up the dirt underneath them and replaced them to make them level with the dirt.

Today we had a design challenge. We were given three things to design. Each person designed what kind of/how we wanted to place the glass on the roof of the green house so they could open (to air it out). We also designed the door of the green house and the back triangle of the green house.
