WIESLAW MEETING #1

After meeting with Wieslaw for the first time since the proposal about our project, we decided to search out materials that are more cost realistic, and scaled back our designs a bit. He voiced his concern over the construction, and how we are going to make the walls stand. He asked us to find our exact materials without buying them, get estimates, and build a model so we could visualize how we are actually going to construct it.

Following the meeting, we went to Canadian Tire to search for some materials that we could use. There we found an excellent subsitute for the plexiglass walls. Instead of using a heavy glass, we found a grey weedbarrier. It is a pourous material, and lets light through without seeing through it. Since it is so extremely light and durable, and alot cheaper than plexiglass, we decided on using this product.

Following the Canadian Tire search, we set out to start building our model, and figured out how exactly we were going to get the walls to stand.
