-explain how you solved a problem

-tell a cool story


Also include images, sounds or video from your project.

Beginning to take shape

Thursday and Friday of this week were very productive. On Thursday, we finished the floor which we had been working on for the first week of building which was a very relieving accomplishment. After over 600 screws being drilled into the 32 boards, the floor was finally finished. Thankfully, all our calculations turned out to be correct and the floor was almost completely level, and were the correct dimensions that we wanted. After we finished, we went on our second Lowe's adventure. After searching for and moving over 50 pieces of wood from Lowe's to Wyatt's house, we called it a day. On Friday, we began building the shed itself. Going into it, we had no idea how long the walls would take, so we figured we would be happy if we completed one wall. However, we finished the first one in under two hours, so decided to do a second, and then even a third. After a couple of mistakes screwing the walls in, we finally got the correct dimensions we hoped for, everything was square and level, and everything was exactly how we planned. It was a very productive week, and we are all excited for the upcoming days of project. A picture of the three walls and floor is below.
