Due to my school shutting down I was not able to finish as much work as I was hoping to. Professors are trying to adjust to remote teaching which has resulted in them giving us significantly more work. The school has also taken away access to the IST from all of the students. For this reason I had to use solidworks through a chrome simulation so I was not able to assemble everything since it only saves the file to your student drive and not to you actual computer.
I built the frame for a window and the glass that will fit perfectly inside it. I decided to go with the smallest dimensions I planned which meant the window panes were .25m thick. The glass in the window ended up being 1.125m x 1.125m. The thickness of the window frame and glass were .15m, the same as the walls in the house.
I am still researching how to get a mesh screen in solidworks. If I am not able to find one I believe I can just make a metal wall and make a bunch of tiny squares using a linear pattern.

*when assembling the glass I will just assemble four of these into the four slots.
