 * //G-This week i learned how to take nice and neat pictures and post them with a logo that i made. I have learned how to take Great looking pictures of my house and post them on my wiki with the logo I made. Knowing how to do these things will help me preview a nice finished product on my other projects. These skills could help me preview how a house I build for somebody could turn out. Building my house was not very hard. My decks were probably the easiest thing to build on the outside of my house. Everything else on my house was pretty easy to build.//**


 * [[image:Terrain.jpg width="830" height="602"]]F-This week I Learned how to add a terrain to my house. Last week I finished adding shadows to my house. I learned how to make hills and add a different terrain around my house these skills will help me build different terrains on different houses. These skills can be applied to building a house around or on a hill. The only problem I ran into was making a hills around my house and elevating my house so its not sunk under the ground. I learned how to raise the house above the ground. I was finally successful in raising my house above the ground.I made big hills around my house.**


 * D/E-This week I started designing my layouts and last week I was adding shadows to my house. I've learned how to take pictures of my house and put the on a layout page.After i was done putting the views and the dimensions on the layout page I was able to print it. I took different angles on the house so a person looking at the house can see different views. I think knowing how to do this will help me make more layout pages in this class. In the real world a layout page could be used to look at different angles of a house you plan on building.You could also have the measurements of the house on the same paper.In the past week I didn't run into any trouble.I was successful in adding my house views to my layout page.**

 //**C-** **This week I was working adding my porch/deck and adding my roof. I learned how to add my shadows for my house and I also learned how to add trees and object to the terrain out side my house.These skills will help me make it so it looks like there is a sun outside and to make it more realistic. Knowing how to make a shadow wouldn't really help me but if I wanted to know where the shadow is coming from so I can make an energy efficient house. It would help me determine where the sun is rising and how much sun light I would get into my house. I didn’t have any problems this week.I found it very easy to add things to my terrain. In this image I don’t have my car or trees but I think knowing how to add things to my terrain will help my outside look more exciting. I added a car a fire pit and some trees but you can’t see it because this picture was taken before I added the trees and the fire pit.** //

//**__B-__****Last week I was adding my my cellar and putting stairs leading to my top floor.This week I finished adding my roof and I also added my deck and porch.I learned how to build my deck (Figure A) and how to put in a porch(Figure B). Knowing how to build a porch and a roof will help me out a lot while i move on in this class because i will need to know how to make a porch so I can get into the house. These skills would be useful to a carpenter because they would need to know the right sizes of what the need to build,such as a roof of porch. The biggest problem I ran into is when I tried adding beams to the bottom of the porch and deck.Sometimes when I place them thy would be to high or too small. I solved the problem by shrinking the beams down an inch at a time until they were under the porch.I was successful when adding my roof. I learned how to use the roof tool and it will help me build my roof on my final project. I wasn't really creative in this part of the assignment.**//

//**__A-__****Last week I was working on adding walls to my house and by the end of the week I was finished adding in furniture.I have learned how to place appliances. I learned how it is important to place appliances with the correct dimensions so everything will fit where you need to put it.It will be helpful to me when im trying to add appliances into different houses I make in Cheif Architect.These skills could help you place appliances into a real house and make sure they are all going to fit. The biggest problem i ran into was when I was adding my kitchen cabinets and other appliances.I realized that the window was not centered over the sink correctly. I solved the problem by deleting all the cabinets and appliances and measuring out the sizes of each object to what the book said. I was successful on adding all of the furniture. I didn't run into any problems while placing furniture into my house. I think knowing how to find the furniture and adding it to the house will be very helpful in the future. I wasn't very creative in this part of the process.**//
