My kitchen is big, my bedrooms all have closets, my living room is good sized, my dining room has a lot of windows, my bathroom and laundry room are spaces. The laundry room has storage space. The hall is colored the same as the rest of the house, that’s nice. My deck is nice, and is on the second floor. My house is amazing and even a handicapped man who could not see upstairs would buy it. But mostly my house would be good for families because there are so many rooms. There are tons of closets and most of the rooms are very open. It would also make a good house for drug runners or pimps, there are plenty of places to stash your “storage.” This house has the potential to be re-sold for millions because it already has a pool with a diving board and slide. There is plenty off room on the sides of the house for renovation if needed, or you could even just turn the porch into a room. This house is amazing and is worth money. You save maintence costs because the roof is metal and its easier to heat. This house is also worth lots of money because a pirate built it and it is said he his tons of his gold someone on the land. Many drug runners and pimps have also been shot down here so it could be haunted which means it could be on those lame T.V shows about ghosts.



I built a two-story house; my house has a kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room, three bathrooms, five bedrooms, and a family room. I plan on putting a garage and pool outside with a downstairs deck in the back yard. There is a small porch in the front and a porch off the second floor. A two-story house has many advantages and some disadvantages. One disadvantage is that there are stairs, which means as far as handicapped goes, this house would not be a good choice. Also, maintenance can be a problem, considering the house is so high it is hard to do any work to the room or redo the outside walls. On the other hand though two story houses are pretty cheap. Roof and basement materials are the most expensive items involved in building a house, with a two story you get the maximum space with the minimum basement and roof material. Heating a cooling a two-story house is also more efficient. Heat from the bottom floor will rise up to the top, which allows for the heat to be used less. Cooling is basically the same story in a two-story house, not as cheap as the heating situation but still a lot easier than other types of houses. There are ways to fix the disadvantages in a two-story house, which I have done to my home. First, since maintenance is a problem because of the height, I made sure the roof was metal and had a high pitch, that way; there is no shoveling off the roof or even cleaning it. And having a metal ceiling also helps keep the house cool during the summer. I also made sure that the outside walls where covered in paneling instead of just paint, that way it takes longer to fade or get old, and can withstand many weather conditions. With paneling on the outside of the house this allows repairs to be a minimum.



Assignment F This is a picture of my logo. In this picture I had to work with the CAD blocks. Using the CAD blocks I was able to create a design, change the colors and line widths, and create a background for behind my logo. People probably use this type of program all the time to create company logos. While making my own logo I did not encounter any problems, it was by far the easiest thing I have done so far. It was easy for me to creative in this assignment, I got to create a name and make a design for it. I picked my own font, colors, and designs for my logo. This skill of using CAD clocks will help me in my next project of building my own house because I will need to put my logo onto my layout.

- Assignment F This is a picture of the house I built on the hills. I had to make the porch so that the beams underneath touched the lower hill. I learned how to extend the beams to support the porch. I had some problems making the beams touch the porch at first, because some of the picture I took of the house you couldn’t really tell if they where touching or not. To fix this problem I simply changed the number that determined that height until I found one that definitely worked. It still looks a little weird in the picture but there is no way to fix that. I believe I was successful in this assignment because I was able to solve the problem of the beams not reaching the porch on my own.

ASSIGNMENT E In this picture I was creating a landscape for my house that had may different hills of different levels. In this assignment I learned how to create hills, this will help me when I build my own house. Especially if I want to build a split-level, considering those houses must be built into a hill of some sort. I did not have any problems with this assignment it was easy to make the hills, all I had to do was make one, than copy and paste the rest where I wanted to them to be. After I placed a few of them I used one of the tools to fill in the rest. I feel I was successful in doing this because I did not have to ask for help and was able to finish quickly.

Assignment D ==== In this assignment i was working on my layout. This is page one of my layout, it includes my name, the type of house, page numbers and the different views of the house.To make this page in my layout I had to take all of these different pictures and send them all to the same page in my layout. I had to learn how to make them all fit, at first I had a problem with them all fitting correctly and pieces of the images where being cut off. I managed to move them all around and get them to all fit correctly. I also had to take a few different pictures that where a closer view so that when I made the picture smaller on the layout you could still see the house. Knowing to take close up views of the house for this part of the layout will help me in making future layouts. I know that people make layouts all the time while building houses and businesses.====

Assignment D In this picture I was working on making the pages for my layout. This picture includes all the dimensions of the rooms in the house. I learned how to get rid of objects, like the counters and furniture so that I would only have the empty rooms and the dimensions, this will help me in future assignments if I have to make another layout. In real life I know they use these types of layouts to build buildings and to explain their designs to people. While trying to make my layout every time I would add this picture it also added this to the previous page and deleted the first picture that was there. Again, I tried to get Mr. Bailey to help me but it took forever. We didn’t know what I was doing wrong but he did it for me and it worked the first time. During this assignment I think I did well at making my page zero, which includes the page number, name of my “business” and the date. This should help me if I have to make another layout.

In this picture I was working on the outside of the house instead of the inside. I had placed plants, a car and a driveway. In this picture I learned how to change the camera view so the house appears to on the ground and not floating. That will help me in future assignments when I have to post more pictures on this page. I also learned how to set shadows, which might help me in real life situations because you can set shadows to any time of day, so say someone wanted a certain side of there house to have no shadows and just sun until nine in the morning, you could make a house that fits their preferences. In real life I think this program and the tools I used for this picture are used to create houses for people. While trying to take this picture I could not figure out how to set the shadows to the right time of day, I asked Mr. Bailey twice to help me but he was busy talking in an English accent. So I looked all through the book and couldn’t find the answer, than I asked a few people in class and they couldn’t remember either. So finally I asked Mr. Bailey again and he actually came and helped me, and that is how I fixed my shadow problem. I was very successful in looking through the library for objects to set outside of my house. I think that being able to move through the library of objects quickly will help me in chapter twelve when the whole assignment is based on the outside of the house.

 * Assignment B ||

Assignment B: In this picture i was working on adding decks, porches, and front stairs to my house. I learned how to use railing, and roofs over porches and create a porch. These things will help me if I get the chance to buils my own house, and it helped me figure out how to put in basement stairs in the next chapter. In the real world most people want some kind of deck or porch on their houses, and well stairs are just essential. So this skill would come in handy when designing a house. I had a problem putting the stairs on the back deck. My computer was not cooperating and would not let me put the stairs going in the downward direction. I found a new mouse pad though and than my mouse started to work just fine and I was able to finish the stairs. In this picture i did show some creativity, but its just hard to see. The outside of my house is pretty plain, but in the window you can see my awsome lamp that I picked out for the bedroom.

Assignment A: This is a picture of my kitchen. In this picture I was learning to put furniture and fixtures into my house. This was the first room I had to add furniture to. By doing this room and learning to put in furniture and use the Library tool in the CAD program I was able to add furniture to the rest of the house quicker. I imagine that knowing how to use this program and being able to place furniture would help with actually designing houses by showing you what it would look like furnished and how much space you have. I had a slight problem adding the sofits over the top of the cabinets. At first I did not put them all the way to the wall, but that was easy to change. I clicked on it and it just pulled it over until it met with the wall. I think i was successful with everything in the kitchen. I did not have many problems and found it pretty easy to do. I showed a little creativity in the kitchen by choosing the cabinet styles, the type of fridge, the type of stove and the floor and wall colors.
