1.Make a layout of your house on graph paper.
Write each wall length next to each wall and write square footage in each room. Square footage is
length x width. Write wall dimensions of every room and calculate square footage
Add the walls on graph paper using paper strips and the glue gun in box .
After drawing your house, you will add walls using the poster board cut up into strips. Glue
these on the graph paper to get a 3D view of your house. Follow the example on the wall for
cutting out doors and drawing in windows on posterboard strips.
