Class 5 Homework, Google Sketch Up, Building a House

I found this to be a very challenging task. I viewed the tutorials, I practices, in fact, managed to make two chairs following the videos; however I really wished they gave more instruction on house building. Took me many tries to make a simple house; I kept erasing by mistake; when trying to add the garage it kept messing up the house. Anyway, I keep trying and finally came up with the following. It did take hours; so there you have it; yard is much bigger than the house but it took so long to make the house I didn't want to mess with scaling it bigger. I did incorporate the landscaping using materials from Google Warehouse. Alot of times when tryig move objects it was difficult, my computer was running slow and I think my hand was moving faster than the objects; sometimes they would end up in the weirdest places. Good think I'm not an architect.

Front of the house; forgot the chimney!

Here I tried to add flowers on the front lawn; there is a cactuas near the front entrance and a swing. These were incorporated through Google Warehouse.


Back of the house. Those are azalea bushes along the house.

Ariel veiw of the property. The fence company is coming at a later date to finish the side fences; good thing the dog stays near her dog house.

The dog 'Lily' and her dog house! It is hard to see but I put her name using 3D text on her dog house.

Th pool; gotta have it!


More views of the pool! Best part of the house.
