I have finally decided what I am going to do for the product for my senior project! I am going to draw a completed blueprint of a house. The first step to any project is figuring out how much it will cost. I have found out that it will cost me hardly anything at all. All I will need is my computer and a printer. The reason that I need a computer is because I will be drawing the house on an online computer drafting program. This is what almost all builders use these days with the advancements of technology. I have chosen a mentor that has had experience doing this as well. One thing that I feel is going to be hard is where to start. There are so many parts to a house. I hope that my mentor can assist me in this process. I hope when I get finished I will like the results that come from it.

For my senior project this year I have been working on a research paper about Energy Efficiency in Residential Homes. While doing this I have been finding sources that deal with this. Once I found the sources, I had to start taking notes from these sources to be able to finish my paper. We are required to have ten sources and 40 note cards on them. When taking notes, you have to copy the words out of the sources word for word and then once you have finished, you will then take all of them and paraphrase them and put them into your paper. This definitely is not fun but in the end it might be an experience I will never forget.
Over the past few days I have been doing some research over architecture. One thing that I have found interesting is how builders are trying to make homes more energy efficient. I decided to do my research paper on Energy Efficiency in Residential Construction. I going to draw an automated computer design of a house that is the best possible for energy efficiency. I have been looking around for the cost of the materials I will need and what they will cost. I have found out that I will just need a computer and a printer and paper so the cost will be minimal. I really want to finish this because I want to be able to maybe someday build this house myself and live in it!
