Did you know that there are different roof sizes and different roof types for different areas in the country? Such as in New York they would have big tall peaked roofs so that the snow will slide down the roof and not just pile up on the roof and cave in. but in Florida we have low peaked houses because it doesn’t snow down here. Some other cool things are windows. You have just regular windows that go up and down. Then you have double hung windows that basically do the same but the top half folds out or in to make it more ventilated in your house. That also makes it easier to clean because you normally would be walking back and forth to clean the inside and outside. Another cool thing about those windows is when it’s raining you can crack open the top so you can keep air flow and stop rain from going in your house. That also has to do with the size of your roof overhang. If you’re over hang is small your house will get hot. But if it is long it keeps your house cooler on a hot day. That also helps with the window because if you have a short over hang then no matter what kind of window you have then water will still get in because the overhang will help block the water from getting in your house. If you want to learn more keep following me I have a lot more cool stuff to talk to you about.

I believe profoundly that architecture is not just about building. It is a means of improving people’s quality of life.

Welcome to my blog. I’m blogging about architecture.  There are numerous things I want to explore about my topic. I want to see why it takes so long to build a house, what kind of permits do you need to have, and how many inspections does a house need. Also some building secrets. Such as secret rooms. All the things I will explore are things that you will learn. I picked this topic because I want to be an architect when I grow up. Ever since I was young I wanted to build because I was always good with my hands. Then about four or five years ago I went to my grandparent’s friend’s house for the 4^th of July. He is an architect. His house was beautiful. It was on 10 acres. It was a two story house with a movie theater, and a game room, and even a secret room behind the game room. This is what locked me in on what I want to do. My blog is for anyone who has an interest in building or managing a construction company. I don’t just want to be an architect I want to manage my own construction company. I promise you will learn a lot if you follow me because it’s my interest and it can be yours to I have also had some building experiences. I have already designed my own cottage and I have put a roof on a house. The roof was hard. We had to re-plywood the whole roof. Then put this plastic stuff down. Then get it inspected. Then put more on then get it inspected. The shingle it and get it inspected again. That is the reason I want to learn about all the inspecting. Because if you build a whole house that has to be a little time consuming. So follow me on my blog. You will learn a lot.
