My room right now is okay but its starting to get old and kind of a mess. The walls are green and the furniture doesn't match. My goal is make the room look nice and able to use for the up coming years.]]> 2017-02-04 22:05:48 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/151628619 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/151628968 First off I need to sell my furniture. I'm  not selling all my furniture but the stuff I am going to incorporate into the loft I'm getting rid of. The money made from selling the furniture will be use to buy wood and hard ware needed to build the loft. For the walls I'm either going to paint them grey or blue. The loft bed is going to be the hardest part of the project but I found this video it is very helpful. https://youtu.be/iKj0bFDBXEw

1. A hanging loft is a loft that is suspended by the ceiling and wall with very minimal ground support. To do this you must anchor the loft bed in the support beams in the wall and ceiling, this design is cool but very difficult making it not my first choice of design.
2. A common loft is a design that is used often because of its simplicity and how its easier to build. This design would be great for a small space and room is simply to big. 
3. I don't know the name of this loft but its aloft with to support beams that are on the ground and a stair case that functions as storage and support.]]> 2017-02-05 00:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/151632207 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/151674947 The first part of the room upgrade will be stripping the room. I've already done this with my desk and nightstand but I still have some other things to do before I'm done. Next I will take pictures of the furniture and probably put the pictures of craigslist or eBay. After I sell the furniture then I'll get ready to paint the room. I don't know what color I'm gonna paint the walls but its either gonna be grey or blue. After that I will then buy the wood for the loft and then set aside a day for building it. After I build the loft I will then be finished with the project. ]]> 2017-02-05 17:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/151674947 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/151678394 There are some more loft ideas that I found.]]> 2017-02-05 18:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/151678394 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/152001240 I drew up some plans for and decided on a few ideas. I will be using the space under the loft as a close and storage space, I will keep my office space the same, I am gonna paint the walls grey. I also decided to go with a different design of loft and  then the ones previously stated. The design is wider and spans the width of the room which works well in my room because it thinner than it is long. Here are the plans I made. ]]> 2017-02-06 23:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/152001240 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/152002800 2017-02-06 23:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/152002800 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/155229273 2017-02-21 17:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/155229273 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/155234554 For week 2 I focused on the design and build of loft bed as well how to build it. I research types of loft beds and how to build them as well as what tools I need. I have all tools I need except my circular saw is broken but I have a friend who has one I can use. I also made a pan for the project.

Week 1. Research

Week 2. Plan and research

Week 3. Clean room and decide what furniture Im gonna get rid of 

Week 4. Paint room and sell furniture

Week 5. Start building loft and shelves.

Week 6. Finish project ]]> 2017-02-21 17:38:25 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/155234554 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/155245092 For week 3 I cleaned out my room, all of it. I went through all of my drawers and threw out anything that was trash or junk and put back the left over items in a organized fashion. Besides that I really didn't do any thing else because I was tied up with a concert and my sisters choirs performances which I worked the curtain at. I also looked more into build the loft and what I would need. The video I posted earlier was very helpful as well as the youtube channel Get Hands Dirty.

I honestly don't have anything to say. So I hope I don't have to write 400 words on nothing]]> 2017-03-13 17:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159759485 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159759843 2017-03-13 17:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159759843 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159760190 So I didn't get much done on week 4 because my parents schedules were very busy. This in turn made it very difficult for me to get things done. So for this week I took a break from the loft. I also had to be very flexible as we were constantly changing the plans to fit with my parents schedules. I also had more time to research lofts and how they work. I found out the plans for I had made originally would not work so I had to change that as well. We also listed a hutch of Craigs list that we were gonna sell. As well as that I really just did what I did for the for the previous weeks. I really did do much. This was the week I had planned to paint my room as well, unfortunately that did not happen a my dad just didn't have the time. This didn't really impact the plan that much as I ended up painting the room and building the loft and about 2 days. This project isn't as hard as people think. ]]> 2017-03-13 17:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159760190 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159760534 2017-03-13 17:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159760534 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159760838 2017-03-13 17:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159760838 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159761177 2017-03-13 17:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159761177 brodyp2858 https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159761541 2017-03-13 17:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brodyp2858/8tv8jjr1nztk/wish/159761541
