Entry 1:
Today  I started using Google Sketchup.  I played with the tools for a while. It was really confusing to use since it was 3 Dimensional. I looked up some tutorials on Youtube to help me understand what each tools was for. 
This is the first building I made using Google Sketchup while I was playing around.
 












This is my second building I built when I learned about the tools.
 














Entry 2:
Today is my second session using Google Sketchup. I looked for more videos on how to build the basic fundamentals of building a house. Today I learnt how to build a roof. Jessica Bezzina  taught me how to build it. I then added some more shapes to the side of the house and also added windows in it.

Entry 3:
Today is my third session using Google Sketchup. Over the weekend, I did extra homework and searched up more videos  and ideas on Youtube to build my house. I now know how to use the tools more, so this is what I built over my weekend.
 












At school I built my balcony for my house. I added bars around the balcony in this way to give it that modern look. I also added a sliding door for the entry of the balcony instead of using the boring normal doors.















 I realised that I didn’t have any door knobs on my front door, so I quickly added some at home as well. This is how it looks:













Entry 4:
At school I started to expand my house to the right side. I searched up some tutorials adn ideas on Youtube aswell. I understand a lot of what the tool are for like the "Follow Me Tool" and the "Offset Tool". This is what my house looks like right now:

Entry 5:
Today at school I added some doors, windows and balcony on the right hand side. It was a little frustrating and time consuming to do, but I got the job done :) Now I need to add the railing around the balcony and the bottom part of the balcony on the right hand side.

















Entry 6:
At school I finished doing my right balcony and  underneath the baclony, now I just need to add some objects in it. I added another building at the back so it could be more bigger. I put some windows on it too. This is how it looks:











































































Entry 7:
At home I built 2 garages and another room on top with another balcony! It was a complex to do this balcony because you had to add 2 rectangles to make the flooring. The most hardest part out of this was making the railing because I had to fiddle around with it a lot. I added stairs to the back and made a wall out of glass to cover it and another balcony at the back.



Entry 8:
At home during the holidays, I worked on my Google Sketchup. I made a glass design to go on my garage roller door. I wanted to make a deck at the front but I couldn't pull it up so I am going to turn it into a gardern bed.


Entry 9:
When I was at home during the holidays, I built 2 other building on either side because I felt like the house was too flat. I added 2 big windows in it to make it look more long. Then I started to make the backyard and made an outdoor room and a path to the pool.


Entry 10:
Today I started to add more objects into my backyard. I wanted to make a swimming pool first, so I went to search on Youtube "how to make a swimming pool on Google Sketchup". I was quite hard to figure out how to do it because the all the videos I looked were fast forwarded. I played around with tools and got to finally make  my backyard pool.
