Habitat project

      In the September, we went the habitat for humanity to build the house. That day, firstly I did an electricity in the attic, it is my first time went into the attic. There are a lot of nails on the ceiling so it is scary. In this work, I learned how to organized electric wires, how to staple it on the ceiling. Then, I made a hole in the cement floor by using the automatic drill. Lastly, I did the sighting for the outer wall. It is really difficult. We need to use the horizontal measurement (?) to make sure the diagonal. Also, drove the nail for it is difficult. We need to drove it very accurate, if not the outer wall will break down.
Totally, I think it is very interesting experience. I learned many things from this project.

Reveal Product Expo

In the September, I went the product expo in Spokane. There are so many interesting things such as new types of wall and floor materials, novel carpet, super comfortable furnitures.
Versacork by sustainable flooring is one of the flooring that I most interested in because we learned how the cork is good in class, and how different to install it. But, it is a really sustainable and durable flooring. In this company, you can choose any color you want for the cork flooring, and they also has many types of cork flooring, so I think it is really interesting.
Then, I saw there are many ADA designed sofa, which designed for commercial and hospital buildings. Wieland's sofa is one of the most interesting so that I saw. The sofa can swing, I know, there are a lot of sofa can swing, but the swing method for this sofa is different with others. It can swing very silently and smooth, so people can feel really comfortable. One more, Acclaim's sofa is also very interesting. The sofa can transform to 5 form. So, it can fit to most of the situation, so senior or accessible people can feel comfortable.
From this experience, I learned a lot of new things in the world. I hope I can see more interesting products in the next year's product expo.

Green House

I went Spoken's green house in this september, I found some very interesting parts from that. Firstly, I saw it has many and big windows around the wall. So it can create light without using electricity. In the third floor, the hall way's wall is made by glass so it can get the sunshine from the living room. And, the house has a small window int he bottom of the wall for flowing the air in the room, so the room can keep cool in the summer. It can save a lot of energy. Moreover, the green house is not just green house, it is also an ADA designed house, so the bathroom, kitchen, and all other rooms are accessible. Therefore, I think this is a very good experience for me to do the rest of my projects.

Habitat

In this project, we went Union town, WA for constructing house.
This day, I did the electrical cable setting, stabilize the floor, and sighting. There are a lot of stuffs that I leaned in this day. I leaned how to set up the table, how to use the screw and how to stick the wall. It is very interesting to learn a lot of things. I think this day gave a very good experience for the design!
