Shed Activity
For this Project we had to learn how to use Revit to create a shed and design the surrounding area.
durring this project I learned how to use Revit to build walls insert plants fences and how to make a spreadsheet with all of the different views. Some things that I found difficult were how to attach the roof to the walls and then all of the different options you have. Designing this shed is relevent because we were just learning about the different parts of a shed roof trusses, insulation, top plate, and header are just a few of the things we learned about that we put to use in this project

Roof Project
For this project we had to design and build a style of roof on top of a Kleenex box. We chose to design a Gable roof.
FACTS
This style of roofing is very popular here inMinnesota probably because of how well it handles rain and heavy snow. Unfortunately this style of roof is very bad in hurricane weather. In the high winds of the hurricane gable roofs triangular structure catches wind like a sail and can often get ripped right off of a house.
Picture-
In this project I learned that a roof needs a strong structure so that it doesn't collapse on itself. I liked using the bigger glue gun it made everything go faster. I didnt like getting the glue stuck on my hand or the fact that we ran out of popsicle sticks one of the days so we couldn't really do much that day. Next time I would use a different material for the shingles.
