Hot and Cold

            What would be a more comfortable climate to build a house and live? Hot or cold weather. To build in hot climate you would want to put lighter color paint on your house, good insulation and tight construction. You also would want to make the overhang of your roof to hang lower so that way it keeps direct sunlight out of your house. Your also would want to place windows on the north and east sides of your house and carefully place shade trees. It’s also good to use deep porches for window shading. You should also place convection holes at the top of your house to let heat air escape. It would also be helpful to build near a large body of water to allow a cool breeze to hit your house.

My Dream House

My dream house will be on 5 acres. It will be a two story house with 2 four-wheeler tracks in the back. I will have a pool with a screen over it so that way I don’t have to clean it all the time. I will have orange, pink, blue, and red flowers along my walk way. On my land I will have a huge garage that will fit all my luxury cars, my camper, and all my four-wheeler. I will have a brick path with a fire pit on the way to the garage. My house will have a bathroom out by the pool. And three more inside the house. It will have four bedrooms, two living rooms, and a kitchen and dining room. And a 3 car garage will be attached to the house. Right above the garage there will be a game room with some pin ball machines, a pool table, and an air hockey table up there. The outside of the house will be yellow with green shutters. The drive way will be all rock with rail road ties along the who thing. There will also be a hammock.
