The document is a materials list for building a set. It lists various materials needed, potential sources to obtain them, and brief justifications for why each material is required. The materials include trash cans, bin liners, pipes, ivy, paints, spray cans, flowers, a window box, door numbers, sand paper, moss, clothes lines, pegs, sugar paper, clothes, and a wooden fire escape. Developing a thorough materials list is important for planning set designs, tracking what has been obtained, and ensuring nothing is forgotten during the build process.

It is important to make a materials list so that you have something to refer
to when planning designs and making the product. It is an efficient way of
knowing what you need, where to get it from and keeping track of what
you’ve sourced and what you’ve yet to source. After a materials list is
produced, it is referred to throughout the process of building the set to
make sure everything is included and nothing is forgotten. When
something has been sourced, tick it off the list to avoid confusion.
