=**Assignment D: This week were worked on making the layouts for the house. Last week we worked on making and finishing up our house. Some of the skills I learned was to tell the computer which way I wanted my house to face (North, South, East and West.) I think that these skills will help me in the future of this course by being able to tell my computer which way I want my house to face when I design my own house. This skill could be applied to the real world when I build my own house. I'll be able to tell the guy or the computer which way I want my house to face. A problem that I face was that I had a hard time getting the layouts on to the page. I went about solving it by figuring it out on my own and also asking Mr. Bailey and my "neighbor" Ryan. I was successful when I was getting my house to face the correct direction. I will be able to be successful in the future with this when I design my house. I got to be creative when I was working on the terrain. I got to create my own terrain and it was very cool. **= =**This week we worked on creating the cottage, working with final views and also working with contour lines as to last week we just worked on bungalow 9 and all that other stuff. Some of the skills I learned this week was working with final views and also some more work with the contour lines. This will help me in future of this course when I make my own house and design the contour lines and stuff. These skills could be applied to the real world when I buy my own house and designing the terrain. One problem I ran into was getting the contour lines to do what I wanted/needed. I went about solving it by working through and asking for help when I needed it. Some of the ways I was successful this week was when I was designing the cottage. This will help me in the future when I create my oown house. I got to be creative when I was making the terrain. That was the only real time I got to be creative this week. ASSIGNMENT F **=

This week we worked on making thye terrain lines around the cottage that we created. We had to first make three lines, type some numbers and also just do some stuff and it changed the terrain around our cottage as to last week we learned to work on the outside of our house. Some of the skills I learned this week was to create your own terrain around my cottage. I think that these skills will help me in further into the class when I create my own house andI want to change my terrain around. These skills could be applied to the real world when we go to get our house and we want to design our own landscape. One problem I ran into this week was to get the terrain lines to curve. I solved it by working through it and asking for help when needed, but mostly I did it on my own. Some of the ways I was successful was when I was creating the cottage itself. That is very easy to me. This could help me in the future when I design my own house. I was creative this week by making some minor adjustments to my terrain lines. This was very interesting to me.

This week we worked on the exterior of our house. This included terrain and also outdoor furnishings to "spice" up our house.The skills that I learned this week were how to size certain things to make them fit just right in the place. These skills could help me in real life when I am living by myself and I go to pick things to make the outside of my house look better. This will also help me because I don't want to buy something to big or too small, so this is why this would come in handy in real life. One problem I ran into this week was I couldn't find the things I want, as quickly as I wanted. This was getting frustrating, but I figured it out on my own and with some help from others. Some of the ways I was successful was by being able to place the things I wanted in the right place. This could help me in the future when I go to decorate the outside of my house. Some of the ways I got to be creative was to pick the things I wanted and where I wanted to put them. That part was really fun and I hope designing our own house will be like that.

=**ASSIGNMENT B**=



This week has been much harder than the past weeks. The past few weeks were very easy and I was able to complete 2 or 3 assingments in one class period. But now just one will take up most of my time. The hardest part for me was putting the cabinets and soffits in. They just seemed to not want to work, but once I figured it out, it was very easy. Last week I worked on placing the refridgerator, stove, sink and countertops in. Some of the skills I have learned is how to select more than one thing at a time. You do this just by holding down the shift key and selecting more than one. I think this will help me in future classes because I will be able to select more than one, instead of going back and forth to pick something. I think that these skills could help me in real life if I became a Architect or an engineer, which I would like to do for a job when I get older. One problem that kept happening to me over the past week was placing my soffits int eh correct place. Every time i'd try to put them in the correct place, they would always go in the wrong spot. The way that I came over this problem was to was to use the shift trick that I talked about earlier in the paper. It helped a lot when I would keep trying to make the soffits. Another way that I came over this was to just select it and drag it over to the end. Some of the ways that I was successful was when I was putting stuff outside of my house. It was very easy for me to find and pick the objects that I wanted and place them outside. Some of the ways that I was creative was when I was picking my outdoor decorations. It was fun and very easy for me to pick which things I wanted on my lawn.

=**ASSIGNMENT A**=

This week I worked on putting the deck and soffits on the deck. Last week we worked on cabinets and all that good stuff. Some of the skills that I learned was you could select one of whatever you were doing, and click the "Copy" button at the bottom and it would copy it and you could click it again to paste it. I think this could help me in future parts beacause it would save me a lot of time. These skills could be applied to the real world by buying more than one of the product I need, instead of going back and forth to the store and buying them. One of the problems that I ran into was putting the soffits on the deck. That gave me some trouble, but I worked through it and had Mr. Bailey to help me with it. After that, I was fine. I was successful in putting the deck and porch on, that was very easy to me. It will help me in the future when I build my own deck, then I will have a good idea of what to do. I was creativr by choosing the style of wood for porch and color of my house. This was a relatively easy "part."
