The core team continued Sketchup design for the open source outdoor areas of the Recycled Materials Village (Pod 6). This week we continued working on the outdoor gym, where we designed the central equipment features of the main area.
The core team also continued working on the Murphy bed instructions. This week we set up page 7.1.3, revised page 7.1.1, and created page 7.1.1f, and 1.1.2, as shown here.
And the core team continued working on the Water Recycling Net Zero Bathroom Design page. This week’s focus was adding the final text and images to the page. We’d say we’re now about 40% complete with the page.
