My name is Maddy and in Mr. Stark's class we had to make a sustainable house based on a specific Place. Mine was Wells Maine, I made my house super Eco-friendly so it can help the Environment. For example, I had solar panels, most windows on the south side because I learned that where most sunlight hits, My house is also designed to be a vacation home. I highly recommend doing this project. It was really fun and got me thinking.

Things you will need:
- Cardboard box

First, paint your box then paint on your Windows Doors and garage, Take your box and put the two longer ends up, then put the other two sides up and cut them out. Then take one piece of tin foil and hot glue on the back side of the roof. Next take a piece of cardboard and put it on the front of your house as a balcony, take your paper towel roll and cut it in half and place it on each side of your balcony then take your toothpicks and lay them in a grid, 4 down and then two columns. you should use about eight toothpicks. Once you have got that laid out sick a piece of tape on the top and bottom then stick the tape to the paper towel rolls. Then take part of your paper towel roll and stick it to the side of the house and make a roof with paper and fold the ends and use tape to attach it. Lastly, take another piece of cardboard and stick it to the side of your house then take a piece of paper and draw a garden then hot glue it to the piece of cardboard that you put on the side, and you should be done you can add anything else you want as well.
