OpenStudy (mchilds15):

From the information i read, i'm assuming it's a square room. And in building, when you put up walls, you can't just make all the walls the same exact length and "glue" the edges together.. Sooo one or two walls will be slightly longer because...?

idk

OpenStudy (mchilds15):

Because you have to overlap in order to connect each wall to the next. Come on dude.
