Our invocation project has been quite a challenging, yet fun experience. Even though we didn't get to finish we plan on finish next year or finish it at home it at home. This innovation project has taught me a lot from how to curbhhlass to learning how to cut wood. I learned how to design and sketch building and what it takes ales to build a structure, like a house. We learned that percusión

In the beginning of the project we were very excited and very eager to start. It too kind so while tomorrow atherosclerosis her materials needed. So we started working on it trying our best. Then weeks and months passed and we got slow when it came to working. Also we were not very motivated and every time we would perform a task, we would say "good enough." Because we keeped saying we didn't do such a great at job of being precise and doing things neatly. Although some people say our house look so great. It looks ok but we expected a lot more from ourselves. Another factor that affected us was the time we rushed on some days.
once we finished the Windows we had trouble finding what color to paint the frames of the Windows. We tried many colors and we found out that a light grey would suit the house, also we decided to repaint the house a dark grey instead of black. We decided to do that because the house looked old And kinda scary. I think the house will look nicer after we paint it again. Since the end of the year is coming up we have decided to stay after school this week. This Will help us a lot
We almost done with fixing the windows from outside. We have been trying to finish but it takes time. We still have to figure out how we are going to build the pool and the party room. I am being to think that we need to stay after school inorder to finish the house because we are short in time. Since school is almost coming to an end. I think coming in after school will help a lot.
Last week Myrka was sick, so I was the only one working on the house. But the worst thing happened, our supplies were missing. The tools that we used to make the house where gone! Also the materials were gone, our gorilla glue was gone.. and we found it weeks later. This slowed us down very much, we would be finished fixing the windows but this awful situation happened to us. Now that we are behind we might not even get to decorate the house. But we have a plan we are going to come in after school craft club to try to finish the house. Time is not on our side so we have to hustle. We have learned to use our time wisely and try not to get off task.
since the begging of the project we have been working hard and it seems like our hard work is paying off. We have come a long way with our house. The house is built all we need to do is add the walls inside the house and retouch the Windows inside. What I've learned since the begging, from building this house is that design and architecture are not easy fields they require a lot of creativity, perscion, and math. I feel that I have ve got own I those subjects a lot. Also team work, I typically like working alone on big projects or working with someone I know that will get and do the job right. Right now as I have mentioned in the pervious post is the party room and the pool have to still be built the design and plan for it is al ready finalized.
Since day one we have had the dream to complete a dream house. It all started as a dream then we started to to evolve that dream/goal. At first we dint think it would really be possible. We thought that we would quit or something but we managed to get through and we have gone a long way since. We have come upon trouble with our project like making sure that the wood s cut perscisly and thing are crafted with care. Design since the begging has been trounling because you have to make sure that the design is realistic and can work. Also makeing shire that thing are held up securely. Being creative is a major for us we want the house to look like a man seen dream home Jesse.
The windows are being fixed, we are using Popsicles sticks to make the Windows look nice. Once we are done with fixing the Windows we want to start putting up walls to create rooms. The problem is that we need to think of how we are going to built the walls. Also we need to put frooring and we wanted to use a glass/marble like material for the floors. The problem is getting the right size. Cutting it is not easy because it has to be very perscise. It needs to fit perfectly in the house. The pool is another problem, it's either going to be made out of glass and hanging out on the side of the house or its just going to be drawn on. I think I'm going to take the challenge and make it out of glass. It's going to look cool but it going to be very complicated. One thing that I have learned is precision is very, very important if not than the house could collapse or look crappy.
The balcony is finally up it is ready to be painted. The next step is to put up the walls and build the party room. Right now that we are putting frames around the windows so they cover the mistakes. When the Windows were cut we needed to figure out a way to make them look nicer, so we let it go until later then we came up with the idea of covering them up. So far it is looking good. We also decided that we would paint the frame white or grey so it could contrast the black. Another thing on the agenda is the pool I need to start thinking about how I'm going to built the pool if I'm going to built it out of glass or not. We kinda laid that off otherwise things haven been going great. I will sketch how the pool is going to look like the present it to Myrka and see if she approves.
We have come a long way, our dream is coming to reality. Of course we not done but we are coming along in the construction of our house. We have all the floors and windows installed. I am also very proud to announce that the balconies and rooms that stick out are almost done and ready to glued onto the house. Another thing we still have to build it he party room which it on the roof this includes a pool too. I am running into two problems figuring out how the balconies are going to stay up and figure out how the pool is going to fit in the roof or how I am going to fright it so it fits just right. We have honestly made such a great progress that I thought would not Ben possible if me and myrka didn't get to work right away.
