Muon Detector Day 8 and Day 9

Day 8:
Today we brainstormed ways to configure a structure that would hold our tank of fluid and paddles in place.  After making some sketches and taking measurements we went out shopping for materials and bought a shelving unit.

Day 9:
This morning after putting together our shelves we realized it was about an inch too narrow to hold our tank.  We remeasured everything and and went back out and bought a different structure.  This time we were more cautious and bought a metal unit instead of wood because the chemicals in the tank are flammable.  We put the shelves together and our tank fits perfectly this time.
