Dog House Update

Well I finished my dog house. and it looks pretty good. I just have to make sure that my dog actually uses it. I learned a fair bit during this project. 

I learned the importance of making sure that what ever you use to make sure that your angle's are square, that it should also be square.

I learned that planning can be very useful when you are trying to use as little plywood as possible.

I learned that you should never compromise your plan for anything, it makes it a whole lot harder. My mentor kept telling me I should do, intead of folowing my plan, then he contraridicted himself and said to go with my original plan, but then said I was doing it wrong, and it was just annoying.

So yeah. I don't know what I'm suppose to do now.

Passion Project Update

Well my walls have been put up on the inside and now all i have to do is the roof. My plan for the roof is to cut some plywood so that it will cover the inside of the dog house, Then I plan on putting some support beams on top of that with some insulation inbewteen before I put on another sheet of plywood and shingles on top. Im hoping to finally finish my dog house tommorrow.

Passion Project Update

So last week I spent alot of time working on my dog house. I picked up some insulation and started puting that in and covering the walls with sheets of plywood. This weekend I hope to finish off the walls and then some time this week put the roof on. What I learned recently is that companies fit a lor of insulation in to a small packaging. I bought two bags of insulation not knowing how much was actually was in their. Pretty sure im going to have a bag and a half of insulation left over after Im done.

Passion Project

For my passion project i've been building a dog house. I'd say im a fair way through it. I have learned a few things the major one being that screws are alot easier to use then nails.

I still have to insulate and cover the walls before I can put the roof on, but I think I may be able to

finish in a few weeks.

To Kill A MockingBird Character Perspective

Character: Dill

I had been spending the last few days staring at the Radley house.

The house was not like my aunts, The Radley house was tall, the paint had long since peeled away the revealing the wood underneath. A few pieces of the siding had been torn away revealing segments of bricks. The tower loomed high above the rest of the neighbourhood, a single window was able to see all of maycomb. I had hoped that it would allow me to catch a glimpse of Boo put the curtains had remained shut all summer. Every so often I would think I had seen a shadow move from behind the windows.

"Hey Dill" said Jem walking up the sidewalk."still looking at the house I see."

We spend the next few minutes discussing what was being held inside the house. Jem seemed to think that it was just a cat.

"I bet you can't touch it."Jem said

"I could touch." I replied "I just don't want to."

"Sounds to me like your scared."

"Im not sacred. Im just not stupid."

"Scaredy Cat."

"Fine I will." and with that i set off across the street.

I had been told not to go near the Radley house. Normally I would have, except this time I had my pride on the line.

The fence was made from random pieces of wood held together with strips of barb wire. The lawn was a barren wasteland. Random patches of dead grass were scattered through out. I could see a small hole underneath the fence that i could squeeze through. It was in a blind spot from both the street and the windows. I made my move.

I ran straight for the wall, Guiding myself throughout the many pitfalls that had been placed in my way. I cried in rejoice as my hand slapped against the hot wood.

When I returned Jem was standing where i had left him next to the lamppost.

"You do it?" he asked

"Yup." I said

"prove it."

I pulled a large piece of wood I had taken from the wall and passed it to him.

"Well looks like I was wrong Dill."

Im bored

Puppets

In my hand I take some string
and fashion on a puppet
It's what i do to make it sing
Like a little Muppet

Little movements create a show
In which someone must face
A man the worlds most daunting foe
And put him in his place

In hero's hand be a mace
And from it flies
Without a trace
And there the villain lies

The villain gone for certain
It's the closing of the curtain

Have you ever met a Doppldy
I hear they are quite the Swimmers
Along with Moppldy
I hear they like to eat Plimmers

If I met a Doppldy
I would walk away
If I met a Moppldy
I would paint him grey

My third poem in a Dr Suess style

Ships And Seas

Warm, old sails calmly love a rough, rough gull.
Grow calmly like a warm breeze.
Ships endure like dead shores.
Lively, cold ships roughly desire a clear, warm reef.

Sail swiftly like a cold wave.
Death is a rainy captain.
All ships lead dead, sunny seas.
Stormy, rough gulls calmly view a sunny, dead sailor.
Courage is a old ship

This is my second  Poem

The Hunter Hunts The Hunted

The hunter hunts the hunted
With bow in hand
Arrows no longer blunted
Standing in the fields he scans

The poor beast races
Through bushes
Not willing to see the faces
Of the hunter's pushes

Whoosh goes the arrow
Snap goes the string
A whistle goes from the sparrow

This was my first poem.
