Hi all, hope everyone is healthy.
Please watch the attached video on wood, Covers a lot of information on where the materials that most construction framing comes from, and how it is made. Answer the attached questions and turn them in by April 10th.
If you have not gotten around to the previous assignment in Homestyler, please do so, if you have and just didn't share it with me yet please do so as well. If you save the file as public should be able to just share the URL. Or you can export the floor plan and upload that as well.
Stay Safe and 6 Feet from everyone... don't just stare at screens all the time! If you end up building, fixing, designing, etc. anything during your time away... be sure to share your work!!
