Okay so this part of my project was easily the worst thing to ever happen to me.

IT TOOK SIX HOURS TO


DO THE SIDING ON ONE SIDE OF THE HOUSE!!! I spent one of the last three days doing one side of the
house, I grossly underestimated how long it would take. How did I do the sidings? For the sidings I used
the same type of plywood that is used in skateboards, so it was very thin and flexible which was perfect
for what I needed. The reason it took so long was because I had to cut the plywood into thin strips that
were 7/8” thick, after I had the strips, I had to hold it against the house mark the ending of the house
with a pencil then cut it with an exactor knife. I repeated that process for every strip you see on the
house. I cannot believe that I finished all the sides after the one took me six hours. The reason for this is
because after doing the first side Mrs. Dahl realized I was cutting all the way through with the exactor
knife instead of doing two or three shallow cuts then snapping that wood so that it would snap exactly
where the cuts were. After she showed me that trick, I started flying through the strips and I became a
literal machine. So, in conclusion, in this last week I finished all the house siding, which is where I
wanted to be before the break, which is a huge relief of stress which is genuinely nice because I will not
have to stress about it over the winter break. I project to be completely done my project by the end of
the first week back to school because all I must do is clean up the minute details and stain my project
and we are good to go.
