Welcome to Nate's page

This assignment helped me learn how make my kitchen and all the thing that would go in one and it will help me make a kitchen. This could help me in the real world if i wanted to be a carpenter or an architect. I had a problem getting the cabinets all straight, and I had to keep adjusting till they were straight (I later found the easier way). I was successful in customizing my kitchen, color objects, and more this will help me when I have to build a kitchen and I wont have to refer back to the book. I did some customizations such as, material, color, coffee, maker, bowl, toaster(is hidden by the full cabinet), table, chairs, and I put in a inlet refrigerator.



The difference between this drawing and the past drawing was I had to add the piers and this was building instead of adding on too. I have learned to build a porch, porch stairs, and adding a roof over the porch also how to put the piers to support the porch. This will help me in a future project if I had to add a porch in and support it and I learned how to split the screen. These skills can be used if I was to have someone build my house I would know if there was an error. I had a hard time putting the piers in the right spot, all I did was keep playing around with it and I got it, after I made one I could copy/paste the rest. I was successful in shaping the outline of the deck, this will help me have a better feel for different types of decks. After making the basic decks I went back and added porch lights, bird feeders, torches, a fire place, chairs, and a hammock.



This drawing, like the last one, was based outside but instead it was the property around my house such as my yard, plants and even the road. In this drawing I learned how to make a road, make a driveway, and how to search for thing that I can not find. I can use these skills to design a yard and where a good place to build a house. I had a problem when I was placing the patio, it was of the ground by about 3 feet. To solve it I played with the settings till it was at ground level. I had a successful time placing my road, and it will help me when I have to make a dream home and I'll know where to angle my road. When I made my land to customize it I added two cars, a shrub line, a pool, a patio, a gazebo, and a play set. (Something suspicious here.) This drawing was different compared to the last because because on this on instead of building and adding onto a building I had to take my house and make a plan. Before I made this plan I did not know how to get rid of lines, walls and other thing and I learned how to do that long with making a plan. I now know how to read and make a blue print and with take skill I can be sure that me house is just the way I plan it to be. I had a hard time getting rid of all the stuff that did not need to be on the plan but the more I searched for it the more I learned about it. I was successful in arranging the different pictures, when the way the book had them would not fit with my building. There was not much I could do to make this my own but I did fill in my company name. This drawing was most interesting because instead of using my bungalow I made a new small house with a porch doors and windows. Before I did the drawing I was clueless about how to make terrain and now I know more than I did by far, I was shocked on how easy it was to make the terrain. In the real world this will help me build a house into natural land and have it fit to my or someone else's liking. In this assignment I had no problems because it was an easy on and I got it the way the book wanted it, if any problems happen in the future they might be something like not getting the terrain the way I want it. I was successful in the whole assignment including adding piers underneath the porch, even know you cant see them. Not much I could do to be creative in this assignment I could do either.This assignment mostly the making of my logo, but included in the pictures is my terrain house and it is different because I had to use some cad drafting programing. I learned how to make things with cad drafting, it was not difficult but I was unfamiliar with it. If I go into the field of making pictures, then maybe this might help me in the real world. I had trouble with the bowtie, it would not line up the way I wanted the lines kept snapping into places I did not want them until Mr. bailey showed me how to take that off. The piers were very easy this time compared to the last time I worked with them I made all of them at once with only a few buttons. All my creativity was put into my logo, I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to do so all I did was mde a face on what I mostly do in class, cause mischief.

A: Water efficiencyB: Water efficiency 2C: Energy and AtmosphereD: Sustainable Sites Water efficiency is a way to cut back on use of water both potable and non-potable. In my house above I have added some features to do just that. One way to cut back on water use in general is to use water efficient appliances such as the ones in picture A. I use of a sink that pumps air into the water, to make it feel like the same amount of water but it is using less, and a toilet that uses much less water than a traditional toilet. The second way to cut back on town water use is to have a well like the one in picture B. There are other ways to have water efficiency like recycling water but those are two I have in my house.

Energy and atmosphere is a way to cut back on energy that is produced by unnatural sources. One way to save on energy used of the town and to save money is to get solar panels like the ones in picture C. Solar panels use the energy given of by the sun to power appliances. Another way to cut back on energy use is to proper insulation and to make all the outer walls over your house have full insulation. That will keep you house more heated in the winter and cooler in the summer. As you can't see in picture A, I have insulation in my walls to use less heating and cooling energy.

Sustainable sites is a way to keep impact of you building as low as possible. A major way to keep the impact on the environment low is to build on an already built site just as I have done shown in picture D. My lot that I Built on was not as big as I would want it to be so I had to cut down a few trees to expand, which leads me to my next point. Shown in picture D is the lot I built on and using the lumber in the house that was cut down helps keep you impact down.

Indoor environmental quality is a way to cut down on the air impact from your building. One way of doing this is to have many windows put into your house like the many shown in picture D and B. This makes filtering in fresh air easy and without a system to do so for you. The other way of cutting back on air pollution is to have low VOC paint like I have added in picture A because low VOC's are better for the environment and your breathing.

Materials and resources is finding ways to build a house with materials that you get with a lot of harm on the environment. One way I usede this
