Assignment A

In this drawing I have been working on walls, cabinets, and windows just like in the the stuga. Unlike the stuga I had to add both lower cabinets and upper cabinets. I learned that you have to put soffits above cabinets when building the Bungalow. This will help me in the future of this corse because it will remind me that if there's any room between the ceiling and the top of the cabinets that I will have to put soffits between them. These skills could be applied to the real world because if I want to go into the carpentry business, and or the architect business, I will have an idea of how things are done. While building this house I encountered problems with finding where things were located on the toolbars. I solved this problem by going to Mr. Bailey when I needed help. I was successful with all the measurements of the cabinets of house, and I beleive that this will help me with other measurements I will have to make in chief architect. In my design I added a Knifeblock for creativity.



Assignment B

In this drawing I had to build walls, doors, windows, porches, and a roof. Unlike stuga, I had to add a porch and a foundation. I learned that under a porch that you were aloud to put concrete piers rather than wooden ones. This will help me in the future of the course because it will remind me thati can use both wooden piers and concrete piers. These skills could apply to real life becuase if I ever wanted to build a porch on my own house or someone else's, I would know how to do it. While building the porches I encountered problems such as not knowing how to make the piers. I solved this problem by going to Mrs. Bailey when I needed help. I was successful with the measurements of the porches, and I beleive that this will help me with other measurements on different porches that I make. While creating the porch, I got a little creative and decide to put some chairs on the back one.

Assignment C In this assingment I had to turn on the shadows of the house. In this section I learned how to turn the shadows on and off. This will help me in the futur if i ever take a new Arcitecht course or when i build another house. Ihad a problem with finding how too turn the shadows on but I solved it by having my friend thomas help me find how to do it. I feel that I was Succefull with building the hous and making the shadows look better because of the design of the house.

Assignment D

In this assignment I had to take pictures of the house and put them on a layout I made. I took pictures at all directions, North, South, West, and East. In this section I learned how to make a layout. This will help me in the future because if I ever need to make another layout I will have some clue on how to do it. This will help me in the real world because if I ever need to design a house for someone I will be able to show them different view of the house. While creating the layout I encountered problems such as how to put the pictures of the house on the layout, and I solved this problem by reading the book. I was successful with the pictures of the house and knowing what direction I was looking in. I beleive this will help me with other pictures that I will have to take later on in the program. For creativity I named my company name Joshco. In this assignment I had to take an over view picture of the house and put it on the second page of my layout. I had to turn the measurements on so it showed what the measurements were. In this section I learned how to turn the measurements on. This will help me in the future because if I ever need to know the measurement of a wall, window, or door, I will know how to get the measurements. This applies to real life because if I ever need to design a house I will be able to get the measurement off the layout abling me to know what measurements will be needed. While creating the layout I encountered problems such as not being able to read the measurements, so I solved it by moving some measurements off from other measurements. I was successful with finding out was size the house picture needed to be to be able to fit on the layout. I beleive this will help me later on because I will know what size I need to make pictures to fit on the layout.

Assignment E

In this assignment I had to create terrain for my Vacation house to lay on. In this section I learned how to make terrain by using different elivation tools. This will help me in the future when I need to create a house with terrain. This will help me in real life if I ever need to help anyone figure out what location someone wants to build a house on their land. While creating the terrain I encountered problems such as how to make the terrain wavy, I solved this problem by going to Mr. Bailey. I was succeful with with the elevation of the terrain and knowing how steep the increase of the elevation was. I beleive this will help me with other plans that I will make that will require terrain. I was creative because when I created my house I made my own rooms and didn't the rooms in the spots that they wanted.



Assignment F

In this assignment we learned how to make decks faster with one easy step. This step was called Build Advanced Deck Framing. This will help me in the future because if I ever need to mak a house with a deck, I will be able to work a lot faster with the Build Advanced Deck Framing tool. I beleive this will help me in reel life because it shows you how it was built in one picture. While creating the framing on the deck I encountered problems such as where to find the Build Advanced Deck Framing, I solved this probolem by asking Mr. Bailey where it was located. I was succeful with building the framing cuase it was easy. I beleive this will help me in the future because if I have to build another deck, I will be able to work faster because of the Build Advanced Deck Framing tool. I was creative becuase I used a large deck.





My one story house is 4338 Square feet, and has a Basemeant. It Has one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen, diningroom, and a living room. The house shouldn't cost a lot to build due to the fact that it's a one story house. Maintenance should be easy with this house because it's a one story house without an attic or second floor. Accessibility for Disabilities should be a plus because it's a one story house meaning that people in wheel chairs should be able to get around in the house. Heating and cooling should also be a plus because it is just one story, making it easier unlike a two story house, which you would need to heat two floors. Disadvantages of having a one story house is that you will not have as much living space as a two story house.
