Expense List
Scale Drawing
Final Product

7. Expense list
You will need to maintain a expense list for your bedroom redesign. You have a $25,000 budget. You must include tax in your calculations. Henry County’s sales tax is 7%. Find the prices of furniture, materials and decorations on various websites. My favorites are Pottery Barn and Land of Nod.

8. Scale Drawing
You will need to maintain a list of actual measurements and the scaled down measurements for the items in your bedroom. You will also create a scale drawing on graph paper. A scale should be included on your drawing (for instance, 1 cm = 3 feet).

9. Final project grade
You will also have a final project grade that will be determined by your participation, communication with me and/or your group, management of your time, preparedness, organization and a self and peer evaluation.

You may turn in your budget list, measurement list and scale drawing in any format you like.
