That being said...it might be a bit tough to get some good WISE work done this week.
I realize this is an excuse that can turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy, which I definitely don't want happening. I actually found a quote regarding the concept that is an excuse that is, if I might add, very fitting for this project.
"Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure". ~Don Wilder and Bill Rechin
Over the course of high school, I've learned how silly excuses can sometimes sound, even when they're valid. Point is, something didn't get done, and it's more important to do it than to spout out excuses for why it didn't get done in the first place.This being said, I'm going to try to be conscious of when I should mention why something didn't get done and when I shouldn't (if it's an "everyday"type of excuse, for example).
Any who...my practice floor plan is complete! I decided to get rid of the stairs and make it a one-story house, since my real house plan will be one-story. I also added in built in appliances, outlets, light switches, dimensions for rooms, walls, and windows, and some moveable furniture. Needless to say, if you wanna know how to draw a 3-way dimming light switch, I'm your gal.
As always, much erasing was involved. I did, however, get very handy with my architect's scale. I was swinging that thing around quite a bit.
On the more specific side of things, I learned that I should draw my rooms out to the correct dimensions I want with the interior walls on the INSIDE of the room, NOT the outside. The latter is what I did and labeling the dimensions got a little confusing. The widths of the interior walls weren't really incorporated into the dimensions. There are just really tiny spaces in between each dimension. I'll be sure to fix that on my next blueprint.
But anyway, here's the exciting part: a picture of my complete floor plan!
