 Iso View

Right View

Drawing the bungalo was not easy, It took a lot of work. I followed basic steps from Ms.Wang's blog and she also helped me out with the measurement for the windows. After that I was on my own. I drew the garage in the back with the driveway and I also drew a fence. I did this by using Google Sketch up. Most of the tools I used are the rectangle/push/pull tool/dimensions and that is basically it. After I was done I used materials to add color the the bungalo.
