For this unit I created a wall section for the mason residence. This project was great because I learned many things. Before I started drawing the wall sections I learned about different foundations. They are crawl space, concrete slab, and basment foundations. I drew a crawl space fondation for the mason residence. Some of the structural materials used in buildings are concrete, wood, roofing, and insulation. These structural materials are very important. I started out with the concrete and the rebar which did not take me too long. I then did the wood framing which was a little more difficult then the concrete and the rebar, but I finished shortly. Then I got to the roof and so trouble when I did it wrong and had to redo which costed a lot of time. Lastly I got the dimensions, hatching, finish materials, and notes done which took my very little time. I struggled to finish this unit before it was due but I finished in time after getting past the roof which was the hardest part for me.This unit was the hardest for me because I had no previous knowledge about unlike some of the other units. I think I have gained the most knowledge out of this unit too because it explains the components of how all kinds of building can stay up.
