My favorite courses in Interior Design at the University of Alabama took place in the engineering department. There we learned basic drafting techniques, how to use an earlier version of AutoCAD (earlier than 2000, that is, which I learned how to use much later), and certain details about construction. I especially liked the stuff about construction.
In the art department I most enjoyed using the power tools in 3-dimensional design, besides the drawing class I took with Mr. Dooley.
I wish I knew more about construction now. Anything I may have gone over at the time I have forgotten. It would be so useful now I as think about the things that should be done to my little house.
When I worked at Lighting Plus, my favorite part was running back to the warehouse to locate items needed by the local electricians. I thought how interesting it would be to be a female electrician.
I like doing things myself, like putting together Parker's various paraphrenalia. I've taken Parker's bed apart and put it back together more than once, although not since we moved into this house. Yet I am intimidated when it comes to cleaning the bathroom.
