Today, I started planning out what I was gonna do first. What parts of the house do I need to finish before I can start gluing things together. Since this project is so complex, I made a plan on when I need to do things at home, in order to finish this project in time. It is crucial that I work efficiently so that I can get everything done in time and don't have to worry about doing it for homework. I didn't do as much as I thought I would do in this lesson, however, I was able to test out the material, start the outlines of some of the pieces, and plan for the future.

I cut all the overhead pieces of the house and started planning how it would be laid out. I cut out the 52cm by 46cm piece which is how big the house will be. It was good to see the comparison between the house and the board. I made some adjustments to the plan. For it to start making sense. In this lesson I also worked on the logistics of my house, how will the water cans transfer the water to the garden, how will I do the windows, etc.

Today, I finished cutting most of the pieces with the house. It was really reassuring to finally finish because it took a lot of effort. However before I started gluing, I was looking at TinkerCad, making sure that I didn't make any errors when cutting my pieces. I also tested a new way to cut my pieces that will hopefully be a lot quicker than manually cutting each piece. This machine is called .. I glued some of my house together. There was a problem with this though because the glue, I used was very small and not very efficient. Thus wasting a lot of my time trying to make it work and glue the pieces together.

I was extremely productive in this class and almost finished gluing all the pieces of the houses together. I measured and cut the walls of the house. I glued the walls of the house to the 52cm by 46cm board. I was also able to finish gluing the little house pieces. I did spend quite a lot of time doing the calculations for some of the pool and the fence which will be created later on. I revisited the Red Bull cans because once I finish gluing the house pieces, I need to be ready to incorporate them into my house. I am almost done with the logistics of the Red Bull cans.

Unfortunately, this lesson wasn't as productive as I wanted it to be. I didn't achieve everything I wanted to in this lesson. In this lesson, I planned out of the fence was going to look to prepare for the next class. I also tested the different materials I will be using for the windows. I wanted to do the pool however I didn't have the container that I needed to glue, in order to keep the water in. So that idea was unsuccessful. I cut the last pieces that I needed to start finishing all the elements of my building. The next couple of lessons should be used for the solar panels and sustainable water tanks.

Unfortunately, i wasnt the most productive in this class because I got the measurements wrong and ended up having to do a lot of the work at home. However, I did finish the water tanks and the pool. A lot of the lesson was testing out what I created because it was extremely important that I made sure that everything worked before I started gluing the house together which is the next step.

I was extremely productive today and was able to do everything I wanted. I started gluing the house together and its starting to turn out really nice. However, I do need to work a little more on the presentation making the house prettier and better. I started planning how I wanted to create the water transfer from the water tanks to the "garden." I also worked on placement, where the tanks will go, and how they will look on the final product. I added the plastic sheets to the house which I really like because it creates a contrast to the blockiness throughout the piece.

In this lesson, I connected the solar panels to my house. This was very exciting because it is one of the main part of this sustainable house. However, almost the whole lesson was used to set it up and understand how it would work and look. I am happy with how it turned out. I was able to remeasure the roof and balcony because the proportions were wrong. So I had to remake them. I also worked on the windows and the overall look of my house

Nov 30:

lhorbach271_1 — 2023-12-03 13:01:17 UTC

In this lesson, I measured the balcony and how it will look. I tested the different materials that I was going to use. I started with cutting the circular wooden sticks, to the right size and then I cut the little railings 1cm each. This took the whole lesson because I had to wait for each railing to stick before I could start the next one. I glued the balcony onto my house and it looks very well done. All I need to do now is the finishing touches.

Dec 4:

lhorbach271_1 — 2023-12-05 14:20:19 UTC

In this lesson, I did everything I wanted to. I glued the balcony and the roof and I cleaned things up that I didn't like. I did a good job at time management today, as I stated what I wanted to do and did everything that I wanted to do. In this lesson, I also finished the stairs and glued down the water tanks. I'm happy with how the finished product looks. I still need to make some improvements however overall I like how I used my resources to my advantage and finished my whole house.
