strippers
zillions of corrugated cardboard strips are cut to 3.5 inches and glued together to make the other end wall. The one with the door. wow!
circles make nice walls
These are circles that we are placing in the large end wall panel to create interesting overlapping patterns and shadows while allowing generous amounts of light into the space.

sealing ends in sunlight!
We sealed the tube ends before attaching them to their bases and forming them into panels. We used mod podge, as we only needed to use one coat, and it's waterbased and non-toxic, meaning it should not affect the recycling process. wahoo for puzzle glue!
Drilling it straight
the tubes are resting in the jig. hi liz.
jeffrey and blake. blake held the tubes steady on one end and gave them a line of graphite while jeffrey drilled the holes, using the jig that was made earlier in the week. 
Drilling Holes
a jig for drilling straight holes through 4.25 inch paper tubes.
our pile o' spacers! These nestle between each tube, creating a 3/4 inch gap and allowing a aluminum cable to run the length of the wall to increase rigidity. They were cut from scrape pieces of 2x4 in the piet maas' woodshop.
Isaac, Mark, and Jeffrey drilled holes in each and every spacer, so we could string an aluminum cable all the way through the walls.
