Day 10

If we were going by days that either me or Brittni worked on the playhouse, there would be a day where me and my dad put up the first three boards for the roof and marked 8 more boards. But, seeing as how this is both mine and Brittni's project Day 10 will be the day me and Brittni, with the help of my dad, placed the next 4 boards.

After a long break, we finally looked like we were making progress.

Total Hours: 4

Day 7

Accomplishments:

1. Leveled Walls

Problems: 

1. Leveler didn't work

2. Our leveled walls were sometimes not very level, and had to be redone.

Explanation:

The lever didn't work on the walls because the ground wasn't level, which made the floor not level, making the walls not level.

Solution:

We figured if the walls were the same length from the ground to the top of the wall, they would be level. We're not completely sure if this is actually true, but it sure seems like it.

Total Hours: 5
