Changes to Project

While I was doing my project, I ran into allot of problems. One of them was that the glue needed 24 hours to dry. To replace this glue i used super glue. It dried instantly. The problem with this glue is that if you get it on your clothes it wont come out. If you get it on your skin and fingers, then it will glue your skin together and later the skin is like an alligators. If you get it on the floor, it will take a long time to scrub it off. Another thing that was difficult was bending the sewage pipe. Because its plastic, I heated it on the stove and it bent easily. Because I wanted to show how the pipe would look underground, I had to raise the toilet house and the crop fields higher. To raise those up, I needed to saw wooden chopsticks. My brother helped me do that because it was getting to difficult. Because of me forgetting to take the clay from the class, I used flour, water and glue to make my own clay for the toilet itself and for the water reserve. It worked fine. To show the crop field, I needed some kind of holder for the soil and plants. I made an aluminum foil holder and glued it on the raised platform. Then I poured the soil onto it and added the plants.
