Affordable House - Support Drawings

Project Description
In this part of the Affordable House project, I took my floor plan and planned out a plumbing plan.

Plumbing Plan


Reflection
I enjoyed learning about how plumbing lines fit into the house. However, it was sort of hard because I was gone the day that we went over the plumbing powerpoint so when I went over it myself, it was a little confusing. However, I ended up figuring it out.

Affordable House - Site Plan

Project Description:
In this project, we worked on annotating out site plan and creating a sheet for our site plan.

Reflection:
During the project, I had a problem where I had grass in my house file so when I tried to link it into my site, it looked strange. So, I had to go back and delete it which caused some errors when I tried to re-link it back into the site. Other than this problem, the project was pretty straightforward. I enjoyed seeing my house actually on the site with the landscaping and everything else.

Affordable House - Support Drawings

This is a part of the Affordable House project. In this part of the project, I created an electrical plan for my house.


Here are pictures of the electrical panel and the meter.



Reflection:
One thing I learned from this project is that all kitchen outlets have to be GFI's. Also, I learned what a 3-way switch is. One thing I found difficult is reading through the whole electrical code and applying it to my house. I enjoyed learning about how electricity is incorporated into a house. If I were to do this project over again, I don't think I would've done anything differently.
