Abstract:
A system of integrated structural components, designed to fit and connect together using no tools other than human hands, allowing persons with little or no construction experience to assemble floored/partitioned/roofed structures of variable shape(s) and surface area(s). Flooring panels are inserted and secured into flooring frames that have been inserted and secured into frame connectors. Flooring frames may be anchored into an outdoor installation surface for long term use. Certain configurations of the frame connector allow for the installation of variable height partition supports, as well as partition panels. A special configuration of the flooring frame allows for wheeled implement/conveyance access to the floored surface from the surrounding surface. Open, unfloored areas may be created within the periphery of a structure. Roof panels are installed onto and supported by roof brackets, roof beams and integrated gutter sections. Precipitation is conveyed to downspout pipes and fittings via downspouts.

RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     The present application is incorporated by reference to provisional application 61/351,911, confrmation number 9568. 
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to the assembly of temporary or permanent structures (landscape or garden borders, enclosures, decking, walkways, platforms, sheds, cabins, shelters, mazes or other general, non-fixed configurations of variably-partitioned spaces, bulletin boards or other configurations of vertical display surfaces or barrier walls, etc.), fully or partially roofed, and/or fully or partially floored, and/or fully or partially enclosed by walls, windows, doors, or railings, indoors or outdoors, and more particularly, to assembling temporary or permanent indoor or outdoor structures (landscape or garden borders, enclosures, decking, walkways, platforms, sheds, cabins, shelters, mazes or other general, non-fixed configurations of variably-partitioned spaces, bulletin boards or other configurations of vertical display surfaces or barrier walls, etc.) fully or partially roofed, and/or fully or partially floored, and/or fully or partially enclosed by walls, windows, doors, or railings, without requiring the use of any tools other than human hands for assembly. The final configuration of structures or assemblies is accomplished by using different combinations and quantities of components from the present invention, which is a system of integrated structural components collectively referred to, described, and defined herein as the Handmade Structure System. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The building of structures or assemblies for recreational or utility purposes (decks, walkways, platforms, shelters, bulletin board displays, sheds, mazes, etc.) traditionally requires the person building the structure to have at least moderate carpentry and construction skills. In addition, tools and materials such as hammers, nails, screws and screwdrivers, saws, etc., are required. Depending on the size and scale of the project, it also can be necessary to dig holes or trenches for a foundation, mix and pour cement for that foundation (or buy concrete pre-mixed, and pay delivery charges), then, upon completion of the task, remove the resultant spoils and unused (wasted) construction materials. All of these require significant physical effort, are time-consuming, and of significant expense. Adding railings to such structures or assemblies, or wall-height partitions for privacy and/or security, and partially or fully roofing such structures or assemblies adds to the effort, complexity, and expense. 
     One previous attempt to achieve some of the benefits of a systematized approach is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,209,267 to Dantzer, described as a modular decking system for use in constructing a square or rectangular deck of the type normally attached to a house or other dwelling. It makes use of mostly precut or possibly preassembled components such as rectangular base frames and floor panels, in conjunction with certain commercial off-the-shelf building/construction components, such as nails, metal connecting brackets, screws, bolts, etc., to connect the deck components into a square or rectangular shape, and connect the overall deck to a house or other building. Railings are installed via shaped wooden posts attached by bolts, screws, or nails, at outside edge framing junctions and corners. These posts have vertical slots for the installation of railing panels, and holes bored vertically into the top, to accept finishing caps bolted into these vertical bored holes. The railing panels slide vertically down into the vertical slots in the posts. The outside periphery of the floor surface is finished by attaching finished lumber boards. The Dantzer patent also describes a foundation system that utilizes posts resting on concrete foundation blocks, or, alternatively, foundation components that are mounted either in a commercially available bracket-and-spike combination driven into the ground, or in a bracket and anchor combination which is set in concrete. 
     Unfortunately, the Decking System of Dantzer still makes use of nails, screws, bolts, etc., for connecting the components. In addition, not all components are precut or preassembled, which means that some cutting of components and/or materials would be necessary. All this would require the use of tools and materials such as hammers, nails, screws, screwdrivers, saws, nuts and bolts, etc. 
     In addition, the components of the Decking System of Dantzer are oriented to square or rectangular decks, rather than irregular or custom shapes, including open areas inside the outer periphery of the overall structure or assembly. 
     Also, the Dantzer design allows only for the installation of fence-height railings, while the present invention enables a second, higher level of panels to be installed, allowing for the creation of true privacy walls. The Dantzer design does not allow the installation of railings or partitions anywhere except at the edge of the deck, therefore there is no provision for partitioning the surface space or spaces inside the periphery of the deck. The present invention allows the installation of posts at any junction of Floor Panels or corner of a single Floor Panel, and these posts, in conjunction with Post Brackets, make it possible to install fence or wall-height panels at variable locations, thereby allowing interior space or spaces to be partitioned into separate areas. 
     The Dantzer system also makes no provision for roofing an assembled structure, either partially or completely. 
     Another disadvantage of the Dantzer system is that removal or disassembly of the Dantzer design would be difficult, if not impossible, without damaging or destroying at least some of the components or materials. An additional removal disadvantage is that if the foundation had been installed into concrete, heavy tools and effort would be required to break up the concrete to completely remove the structure. The present invention does not make any use of concrete footings or foundations, and can be removed using the same means, and virtually the same effort, as that used to assemble it, with minimal cosmetic repair work to the site necessary after removal. 
     It is another object of the invention to eliminate any necessity for tools of any kind, other than human hands, to assemble the various combinations of components comprising this invention. 
     It is another object of the invention to reduce, if not eliminate, any necessity for foundation excavation or construction. 
     It is another object of the invention to allow either indoor or outdoor structures of various plans or configurations by using various combinations of components from the set of components comprising this invention. 
     It is another object of the invention to eliminate wastage of building materials, by allowing precise pre-planning of component requirements. 
     It is another object of the invention to allow the partitioning of the interior horizontal surface space(s) of a structure or assembly into separated areas. 
     It is another object of the invention to allow the disassembly and removal of any structure previously assembled from the components of this invention, by the same means used to accomplish the original assembly. 
     It is another object of the invention to allow an assembled structure to be fully or partially enclosed, partitioned, and/or roofed, regardless of structure configuration or floor plan. 
     It is another object of this invention to allow flexibility in the final configuration of any structure produced by using different combinations of the components comprising this invention, including the ability to partially or completely surround, within the periphery of the structure or assembly, physical objects, areas, or features in, or planned for, the installation area (trees or other plantings, water features, other structures or assemblies, etc., or just open, unoccupied areas).

         FIG. 12E  is a top perspective view of a “square” edge framing section component, shown both upright and inverted ( 125 ); 
         FIG. 13  is a perspective combined exploded and assembled view of an example “outside” corner assembly of flooring being finished by edge framing section components installed to a “post” floor panel frame connector; 
         FIG. 14A  is a horizontal perspective view of a post bracket, with dowels extending from the bottom surface of the post bracket; there is a layer of gasketing material or compound applied to the bottom surface of the post bracket; 
         FIG. 14B  is a perspective view of a post bracket in position to be installed into a “post” configuration floor panel frame connector, illustrating the positional relationship between the dowels and the four small smooth-bore holes in the top surface of the center column of the “post” floor panel frame connector. A post is not shown in this view, for visual clarity; 
         FIG. 15A  is an exploded front perspective view of an example partition panel assembly. Partition panel assemblies, either stand-alone or as part of a larger or more extensive structure, may be half-height or full-height, or variable combinations thereof; 
         FIG. 15B  is a combined from-above and from-below perspective detail view of the mid-point connection between the lower and upper post brackets of the full-height portion of the example assembly shown in  FIG. 15A , illustrating the positional relationship between the dowels of the post bracket and the receiving holes in the post bracket cap; 
         FIG. 15D  is a perspective view of the partition panel connector, if used, in its relative installation point between upper and lower partition panels. The entire bottom surface of the partition panel frame, including the concavity, and the end surfaces of the partition panel connector, is covered by a layer of the same gasketing compound or material as that applied to the end surfaces of the partition panel connector; 
         FIG. 15E  is an end-on perspective view of the partition panel connector in its relative installation point, as shown in  FIG. 15D , between upper and lower partition panels. This view further illustrates the concavity in the bottom surface of the partition panel frame shown in  FIG. 15D ; 
         FIG. 16  is a top perspective view of a post assembly top junction, either half-height or full-height, and the partitioning and post-top components that can be installed to that junction, specifically, a post bracket cap and either a finial or a post bracket; 
         FIG. 17  is a perspective view of a subset of the complete set of system components, with the shown subset used to assemble roofing. 
         FIG. 18A  is a from-above exploded perspective view, and an assembled perspective view, of an integrated gutter component and a “single” roof beam, in their relative installation positions, indicating the channel ( 181 ) intended to accept the bottom-surface tab ( 182 ) shown in FIG.  18 Bof the integrated gutter section; 
         FIG. 18B  is a from-below exploded perspective view, and an assembled perspective view, of an integrated gutter component and a “single” roof beam, in their relative installation positions, indicating the tab ( 182 ) intended to fit into the channel ( 181 ) of the roof beam, shown in  FIG. 18A ; 
         FIGS. 18C through 18E  show examples of the interconnecting and interlocking forms of roof beams, downspouts, integrated gutter sections, and gutter block components, being installed to a roof bracket; 
         FIG. 19  is a top and bottom perspective view of a double roof beam, shown both inverted ( 192 ) and upright. A “double” roof beam is functionally equivalent to a roof bracket installed over a post bracket cap, with two single roof beams installed end-to-end into the roof bracket, but produced as a single unified component. Note the square receptacle ( 191 ) in the bottom center surface of the roof beam; this receptacle will receive the tab ( 22 ) in the top center of a double-width, full-height partition panel frame ( 1353 ); 
         FIG. 20  is a top and bottom perspective view of a “single” ( 2451 ) roof panel and a “quad” ( 2452 ) roof panel. A “single” roof panel covers the surface area of a flooring assembly of one floor panel frame, while a “quad” roof panel covers the surface area of a flooring assembly of four floor panel frames assembled in a two-by-two, square configuration. 
         FIG. 21A  is a combined top and bottom perspective detail view of a corner connection point of both “single” and “quad” roof panel components. It illustrates the threaded holes ( 212 ) in the posts at each corner of both sizes ( 2451 / 2452 ), the continuous channel ( 211 ) at the periphery of both sizes of roof panels; 
         FIG. 21B  is an inverted perspective detail view of one side middle connection point of a “quad” roof panel. It illustrates the change in the shape of the continuous channel at the midpoint of each of the four sides of the “quad” roof panel to allow installation to a gutter block component at this point on all four sides, and the thickened “rib” portion ( 214 ) of the “quad” panel surface ( 214 ); 
         FIG. 22  is a top perspective view of an installed junction seal component. It is installed at any junction of any combination of integrated gutter sections, downspouts, and gutter blocks, to cover and seal the seams between those components. The junction seal has a layer of gasketing material or compound ( 141 ) on every surface that comes in contact with other roofing components installed at the junction. In this particular example, the installation is at the midpoint of a “double” roof beam; 
         FIG. 23A  is a bottom perspective detail view of the side midpoint connection location of a “quad” roof panel being installed to the midpoint of a “double” roof beam. Again, note the square receptacle ( 191 ); 
         FIG. 23B  is a bottom perspective detail view of the side midpoint connection location of a “quad” roof panel after being installed to the midpoint of a “double” roof beam. Note that the threaded holes of the roof panel post elements align with the corner holes of the post bracket cap element of the double roof beam. 
         FIG. 24A  is an inverted perspective view of the remaining roofing components from the subset of roofing components shown in  FIG. 17 , specifically the roofing clamp, junction seal, roofing bolt, downspout, and gutter block; 
         FIG. 24B  is a perspective view of the remaining roofing components from the subset of roofing components shown in  FIG. 17 , specifically the roofing clamp, junction seal, roofing bolt, downspout, and gutter block, shown here in their upright installation orientations. 
         FIGS. 25 through 29A  are a progressive series of figures illustrating the procedure of installing roofing components at a visually-isolated junction of components at the top of a post assembly, either half-height or full-height; 
         FIG. 25  is a front exploded perspective view of an example corner assembly of supporting and connecting components for a roof panel installation; 
         FIG. 26  is an elevated front perspective view of the same example corner assembly in  FIG. 25 , showing the relative installation positions of precipitation-conveying and sealing components; 
         FIG. 27A  is an elevated front perspective detail view of the installation of a junction seal component onto the junction of precipitation-conveying components installed at this example junction assembly; note the gasketing compound or material ( 141 ) on those surfaces of the junction seal component that cover the seams between the other components at this example junction of roofing components; 
         FIG. 27B  is an elevated front perspective detail view of the now-installed junction seal component shown in  FIG. 27A . 
         FIG. 28  is an exploded front perspective view of the relative installation positions of the final connecting and sealing components at this example junction; 
         FIG. 29A  is an elevated front perspective view of the completed example corner installation of roofing components shown in  FIGS. 25 through 28 ; 
         FIGS. 30A through 30D  are exploded perspective views of four typical, but different, combinations of downspout, downspout pipe, downspout pipe extension, and water fitting components. These combinations vary depending on the height of the post assembly to which they are installed, and the final disposition of the water conveyed via the various assemblies. 
         FIG. 30A  is an exploded perspective view of an assembly that could be installed to a full-height post assembly, to convey water to a point near ground-level, and then either disperse that water onto the ground via a “dispersal” water fitting, or connect to an external, possibly underground, storage or drainage system via a “harvesting” water fitting; 
         FIG. 30B  is an exploded perspective view of an assembly that could be installed to a full-height post assembly, to connect to an external above-ground storage system or container via a “harvesting” water fitting. 
         FIG. 30C  is an exploded perspective view of an assembly that could be installed to a half-height post assembly to convey water to a point near ground-level, and then either disperse that water onto the ground via a “dispersal” water fitting, or connect to an external storage or drainage system via, possibly underground, via a “harvesting” water fitting. 
         FIG. 30D  is an exploded perspective view of an assembly that could be installed to a half-height post assembly, to connect to an external above-ground storage system or container, via a “harvesting” water fitting. 
         FIG. 31  is a front perspective view of a “dispersal” water fitting ( 2351 ), and a “harvesting” water fitting ( 2352 ). The top portion ( 311 ) of both configurations rotate freely and independently of the bottom portion ( 312 ), like the threaded coupling of a standard garden hose, as indicated by the directional-movement arrows; 
         FIG. 32A  is a combined exploded and installed perspective view of the “corner” configuration of downspout pipe stabilizer, shown in its installation position relative to the post bracket cap into which it would be installed, with a view of the downspout pipe stabilizer component after installation; 
         FIG. 32B  is a combined exploded and installed perspective view of the “side” configuration of downspout pipe stabilizer, shown in its installation position relative to the post bracket cap into which it would be installed, with a view of the downspout pipe stabilizer component after installation;

     For purposes of clarity and brevity, like elements and components will bear the same designations and numbering throughout the Figures. 
     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     While the present invention is capable of embodiment in an almost unlimited variety of structural forms in both extent and configuration, there is shown in the drawings, and will hereinafter be described, various embodiments of structures and structural assemblies, with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the invention&#39;s capabilities, and is not intended to limit the invention to the specific embodiments illustrated. 
       FIG. 1  is a front perspective view of an example un-roofed structure being assembled. It illustrates one possible configuration of a structure that can be assembled using a subset of components, with some of those components indicated in their relative positions for installation, and some in their installed positions. 
       FIG. 2  is a front perspective view of a non-roofing subset of components. Combinations of these components, in varying numbers depending on the size and configuration of the desired structure, allow the assembly of unroofed structures of any desired or required size or configuration. Not every structure would require all of the components shown, and any structure or assembly constructed using this subset of components could then be partially or fully roofed. 
       FIGS. 3A through 3E  are views of the five different configurations of floor panel frame connectors  1051  through  1055 . Each is configured as one to four “quadrants” of a full circle; configuration  1051  shown in  FIG. 3D  is one quadrant, configuration  1052  shown in  FIG. 3C  is two (2) adjacent “quadrants”, configuration  1053  shown in  FIG. 3B  is three (3) adjacent “quadrants, and configuration  1054  shown in  FIG. 3A  is all four “quadrants” of a circle. Configurations  1051 ,  1052 ,  1053  and  1054  are “basic” configurations, used when no Post  1251 - 1252  components are to be installed at the junction of two or more Floor Panel Frame  100  components, or at one or more corners of a single Floor Panel Frame  100  assembly. Configuration  1055  is a “post” configuration, used when a post  1251 - 1252  will be installed, or may be installed at the junction of two or more Floor Panel Frame  100  components, or at one or more corners of a single Floor Panel Frame  100  assembly. A “post” connector  1055  does not require that a post  1251 - 1252  be installed into it. Precise positioning of all floor panel frame connectors  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055  before installing floor panel frames  100  is not required, as individual connectors may be positionally adjusted as a floor panel frame  100  is installed. 
     Both the “post”  1055  configuration connector and the full-junction “Basic” connector  1054  can accept a Junction Cap  160 . The Junction Cap  160  is installed into the central column of a “post” configuration Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055  when no Post  1251 - 1252  is installed into the “post” configuration connector  1055 . A Junction Cap  160  is installed into the central column of a full-junction “Basic” connector  1054  when both “Basic” and “post”  1055  configuration connectors are used in a structure, to allow visual consistency in their finished appearance. The shorter columns  112  extending upwardly from the “floor” of all configurations of Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055  components are intended to be inserted into the holes  45  in the “legs” of Floor Panel Frame  100  components or the holes  45  in the “legs” of Edge Frame Section  1701 - 1702 - 1703 - 1704 - 1705  components, when those components are installed onto the connectors. They are equidistantly spaced in a radial pattern, two per “quadrant” of all configurations of Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055  components. 
       FIG. 4A  is a front perspective view of an Anchor  120  component, shown in two possible lengths to indicate the variability of the shaft  3  length. The variability in shaft  3  length of the Anchor  120  component is to allow conformity with local or regional building code requirements for foundation depth. Regardless of shaft  3  length, the configuration and dimensions of the top and bottom portions are identical. The top portion consists of a square shank  1 , to be used in drilling or screwing the Anchor  120  into the installation surface. (NOTE: The statement that no tools are required applies to assembly of components; attaching or anchoring a structure or assembly to the ground is not assembly. If a structure or assembly is constructed indoors, or even temporarily outdoors on a paved surface, anchoring would not be required, or even possible.) Immediately below the shank  1  portion of the shaft is the retaining disc  2 . This flat disc will, if and when the Anchor  120  component is fully installed, seat against the retaining shoulder or lip  44  at the inner bottom of the anchoring hole in the center of a Floor Panel Frame  100 . This retaining shoulder  44  is identical to the retaining shoulder  44  visible in the anchoring hole of the Ramp  145  component illustrated in  FIG. 8 . Near the bottom of the Anchor  120  shaft are tines  4 , shown here as inclined three-quarter discs. These tines  4  could also be helical in shape, similar in configuration to the tines used for heavy-duty tent stakes. The Anchor  120  component is a situational component for attaching outdoor structure assemblies to the installation surface when required or desired, and would not be used for indoor assemblies, or required for temporary assemblies on outdoor surfaces. 
       FIG. 4B  shows the Floor Panel Frame  100  component that is the basic assembly and supporting unit of any floored structure. It is shown in an inverted view  41 , and its upright, installation orientation. It is square, with four supporting “legs”, one at each corner. These legs are shaped to fit onto one “quadrant” of a floor panel frame connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055 . In the bottom surface of each “leg” are two holes  45 . The depth of these holes  45  is equal to the length, or height, of the two round columns  112  projecting upward from each “quadrant” of all Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055  components. The top center surface portion of the Floor Panel Frame  100  is recessed, or “sunken”, below the top-most surface of the component. This recessed space will receive a Floor Panel  110 . Diagonal cross-members extend from each inner corner of the recessed space in the top center of the Floor Panel Frame  100 , and meet at the anchoring hole  43  in the center of the Floor Panel Frame  100 . At the bottom inner edge of the anchoring hole is a retaining shoulder  44 . It is this shoulder  44  that will receive the outer edge of the retaining disc  2  of the Anchor  120  component when it is fully installed, and it is this connection point between the two components that will secure the assembly to the installation surface. The slot visible in the top surface of each inner corner of the Floor Panel Frame  100  is the entrance to a specially shaped “latch chamber”  71  located inside the body of each inner corner of the Floor Panel Frame  100 . It is this “latch chamber”  71  that will allow the Floor Panel  110 , when it is installed, to be secured to the Floor Panel Frame  100 . 
       FIG. 5A  is a from-below perspective view of a single Floor Panel Frame  100  assembly, with optional Anchor  120 . In this illustration, where a single Floor Panel Frame  100 , unconnected to any other Floor Panel Frame  100 , is assembled, an “outside corner” configuration of the Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051  is used. One Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055 , of a configuration appropriate to the desired structure, is required at each corner of a Floor Panel Frame  100 , whether or not it is, or will be, connected to one or more additional Floor Panel Frame  100  components. The base surface of the anchoring hole  43  at the center of the Floor Panel Frame  100  extends vertically below the level of the “legs” at the corners of the Floor Panel Frame  100 , and the installation of a Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055  at each corner is required to make the Floor Panel Frame  100  assembly sit levelly and stably on the installation surface, as well as to provide a “finished” appearance to each corner of the Floor Panel Frame  100 . The two receiving holes  45  in the bottom of each “leg” of the Floor Panel Frame  100  slide smoothly down onto and over the connector columns  112  on the inner top surface of the base of a Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055 , until firmly seated. If the assembly is to be anchored into the installation surface, the Anchor  120  component is inserted through the anchoring hole  43  in the center of the Floor Panel Frame  100 , and drilled or screwed into the installation surface until the Anchor  120  retaining disc  2  is firmly seated against the retaining shoulder  44  at the inner base of the anchoring hole, thereby solidly securing the Floor Panel Frame  100  and Floor Panel Frame Connector  105  components to the installation surface. A Floor Panel  110  is inserted vertically down into the recessed space in the top center of the Floor Panel Frame  100 . The diagonal channels and round center recess in the bottom surface of the Floor Panel  110  fit down over and onto the cross-members and top surface of the anchoring hole  43  until they are firmly seated. These shaped and recessed spaces prevent lateral movement of the Floor Panel  110  when installed. The top surface of the installed Floor Panel  110  is flush with the top surface of the Floor Panel Frame  100  and the top surface of the Floor Panel Frame Connector  105 . The Floor Panel  110  will be secured to the Floor Panel Frame  100  by installing a Floor Panel Latch  115  at each corner. 
       FIG. 5B  is a from-below perspective view of the same assembly shown in  FIG. 5A . 
       FIGS. 6A and 6B  are combined front perspective views of a Floor Panel  110  being secured to a Floor Panel Frame  100  by a Floor Panel Latch  115 , also illustrating a Floor Panel Latch Cap  165 . The Floor Panel  110  has one (1) recessed hole in each corner. The top half of this hole is round, large enough and deep enough to allow the round top portion of the Floor Panel Latch  115  to fit snugly but smoothly inside, with the surface of the installed Floor Panel Latch  115  flush with the top surface of the Floor Panel  110 . The bottom half of the hole is a rectangular slot or channel cutting through the remaining thickness of the Floor Panel  110 , to allow the T-shaped flange of the Floor Panel Latch  115  to pass through the Floor Panel  110  into a corresponding rectangular slot in the Floor Panel Frame  100 . The top recessed surface of the Floor Panel Latch  115  is shaped with a raised cross-bar to allow the installer&#39;s fingers to be used to rotate the Floor Panel Latch  115  when it is installed. Also illustrated is the Floor Panel Latch Cap  165 , shown in an inverted view  61 , as well as its installation orientation. This component, of some flexible and water-resistant natural or synthetic material, is shaped to fit down over and into the top surface of the Floor Panel Latch  115 , protecting it from the weather, and also providing a visually “finished” appearance.  FIG. 6A  shows the Floor Panel Latch  115  in position to be installed, while  FIG. 6B  shows the Floor panel Latch  115  installed, but prior to being rotated. 
       FIGS. 7A through 7D  are top perspective progressive-series views of a Floor Panel Latch  115  being installed into one “latch chamber”  71  inside the “body” of the Floor Panel Frame  100  at each of the four corners. In this series of views, the Floor Panel  110  that would be secured by the installation of the Floor Panel Latch  115  components is not shown for visual clarity.  FIG. 7A  illustrates the Floor Panel Latch  115  in position to be inserted into the channel, or slot, at the top of the “latch chamber”  71 .  FIG. 7B  provides the same view, but with the top recessed corner surface of the Floor Panel Frame  100  shown as if partially transparent, illustrating the location and configuration of the “latch chamber”  71 .  FIG. 7C  shows the Floor Panel Latch  115  fully inserted into the “latch chamber”  71 . The arrow indicates that, when fully inserted, the Floor Panel Latch  115  should be rotated clock-wise 90 degrees.  FIG. 7D  shows the Floor Panel Latch  115  after having been rotated inside the “latch chamber”  71 . The T-shaped flange of the Floor Panel Latch  115  is now opposed to the slot through which it was inserted, thereby locking, or “latching”, this corner of the Floor Panel  110  in place. With a Floor Panel Latch  115  installed at each corner, the Floor Panel  110  is secured in place. This view also indicates the installation of the Floor Panel Latch Cap  165 , with the shaped extrusion on the bottom side inserted into the recessed top space of the Floor Panel Latch  115 . 
       FIG. 8  is an elevated front perspective view of a Ramp  145  component, shown both inverted ( 81 ) and upright ( 82 ). The Ramp  145  provides an inclined surface between the installation surface and the horizontal surface of an assembled floored structure, allowing wheeled implements, objects, or vehicles to be rolled from the installation surface onto the floored surface. It has two “legs” identical in size and configuration to those supporting one side of a Floor Panel Frame  100 . These “legs” install onto a Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055  in exactly the same manner as one side of a Floor Panel Frame  100  does, thereby connecting the Ramp  145  to a larger or more extensive structure or assembly. It has a square recessed top surface space, identical in dimension and configuration to the square recessed top space in the top surface of a Floor Panel Frame  100 . This space is filled by a Floor Panel  110  identical in configuration and dimensions to the Floor Panel  110  component that is installed into a Floor Panel Frame  100 . The only difference lies in the inclination of that space from the horizontal plane of the Floor Panel Frame  100 . The top edge of the cylindrical anchoring hole at the center of this recessed space of the Ramp  145  slopes downward, but is nevertheless of sufficient depth that the square shank  1  of an Anchor  120  will lie below this sloped surface when and if an Anchor  120  component is used to attach this component to the installation surface. The end of the Ramp  145  opposite to the end that is installed to a Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055  has a solid (unperforated) surface with a textured, slip-resistant surface finish. 
       FIG. 9  is a combined exploded and assembled perspective view of an example assembly of Floor Panel Frame  100  components in a square configuration, and the resultant assembly after the installation. It illustrates multiple Floor Panel Frame  100  components being installed to multiple “Basic” Floor Panel Frame Connector  105  components to form a square assembly, with a Ramp  145  being installed along one side of one Floor Panel Frame  100 . Note that the configuration of Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054  components at each junction or corner is determined by the configuration of each junction, and that this example makes use of Floor Panel Frame Connectors  1051 ,  1052 ,  1053 , and  1054 . The center junction, where four (4) Floor Panel Frame  100  components are joined requires a “full-junction” connector, either  1054  or  1055 ; configuration  1054  is shown here. (Configuration  1055  could be substituted for any or all of the connectors shown in this view, which would then require the use of edge framing sections. “Basic” connectors allow for a simpler and, presumably, less-costly assembly.) The side junctions, where two (2) Floor Panel Frame  100  components, or a Floor Panel Frame  100  and a Ramp  145 , meet, require configuration  1052 . The point where two (2) Floor Panel Frame  100  components are joined to the Ramp  145  component in an “L” shape, requires configuration  1053 , while each peripheral corner requires configuration  1051 . It should be apparent from this example that floored structures of an almost infinite size and configuration (floor plan) can be assembled, simply by varying the number and arrangement of components. 
       FIG. 10  is a front perspective view of a set of half-height and full-height Post  1251 - 1252  components, shown both horizontally and upright. Posts  1251 - 1252  are necessary to provide a vertical supporting framework for the installation of Partition Panels  1351 - 1352 - 1353  and roofing components to a structure, as desired or required. Posts  1351 - 1352 - 1353  require the use of the “post”  1055  configuration of the Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055 . The half-height Post  1251  allows the installation of a single level or course of Partition Panels  1351 , thereby creating “fence”-height railings or walls, while the full-height Post  1252  allows the installation of two vertically adjacent levels or courses of Partition Panel  1351 - 1352 - 1353  components, thereby creating full-height walls. The only difference between the half-height  1251  and full-height  1252  Post  1251 - 1252  components is their overall length or height. Each Post  125  has a round central hole  102  throughout the entire length of the component. The top or upper portion of this hole is internally threaded to a depth sufficient to accept either a Finial  155  component, or a Roof Bracket  180  component. The shaft of the Post  1251 - 1252  is round, with the bottom portion externally threaded  101  to a length equal to the depth of the threaded hole in the central column of a “post” configuration Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055 . 
       FIG. 11  is a detail perspective view of a Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055  configured to accept the externally-threaded end  101  of a Post  1251 - 1252  component, as well as the “legs” of Floor Panel Frame  100  components and/or Edge Frame Section  1701 - 1702 - 1703 - 1704 - 1705  components. It is structurally equivalent to the “full junction” Basic Floor Panel Frame Connector  1054 , but with the addition of an enclosing side wall  111  around the periphery of its base, and with the hole in the central shaft  113  threaded to accept the outside threaded end  101  of either a half-height  1251  or full-height  1252  Post  1251 - 1252  component. 
       FIGS. 12A through 12E  are perspective views of a complete set of Edge Frame Section  1701 - 1702 - 1703 - 1704 - 1705  components. Edge Frame Section  1701 - 1702 - 1703 - 1704 - 1705  components are only necessary for a structure, or portion of a structure, that has “post” configuration Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055  components installed. There are five (5) configurations of the Edge Frame Section component. Each configuration is shown both inverted ( 121 ,  122 ,  123 ,  124 ,  126 ) and in its upright installation orientation. Straight-sided square or rectangular structure assemblies without enclosed unfloored interior spaces require only the “side”  1072  and “outside” corner  1701  configurations of the Edge Frame Section  1701 - 1702 - 1703 - 1704 - 1705  component. The “inside corner”  1703 , “U”  1704 , and “square”  1705  configurations are necessary for structures with irregular edges or enclosed unfloored interior spaces. Edge Frame Section  1701 - 1702 - 1703 - 1704 - 1705  components may be used in various combinations to finish the periphery of a floored structure, or interior unfloored spaces in any assembled configuration, or, without flooring at all. The “legs”, or corner supports, of an Edge Frame Section  1701 - 1702 - 1703 - 1704 - 1705  are identical to the “legs” of a Floor Panel Frame  100 , and install into the “post” connector configuration of a Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055  identically with the installation of a Floor Panel Frame  100 , with the receiving holes  45  sliding downwardly onto Floor Panel Frame Connector  1051 - 1052 - 1053 - 1054 - 1055  posts  112 . 
       FIG. 13  is a top perspective exploded and assembled series view of an example corner assembly of a Floor Panel Frame  100  and a “post” configuration of a Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055 , being finished by Edge Frame Section  1701 - 1702  components. One “leg” of the Floor Panel Frame  100  occupies one quadrant of the interior space of the “post” configuration connector  1055 , while the two “side” configurations  1702  and single “outside” corner configuration  1701  of the Edge Frame Section  1701 - 1702 - 1703 - 1704 - 1705  components are installed into the remaining quadrants to produce a finished appearance, and to fill the remaining three quadrants of the connector  1055 . Filling all four quadrants of the “post” configuration connector  1055  provides an effectively strong and stable support base for this junction of components, and keeps detritus and precipitation from accumulating in the otherwise unfilled space. 
       FIG. 14A  is a horizontal perspective view of a Post Bracket  130 , with dowels  143  extending from the bottom surface of the Post Bracket  130 . The center smooth-bore hole of the Post Bracket  130  allows the Post Bracket  130  to be installed by sliding the Post Bracket  130  down onto a Post  1251 - 1252 . The Post Bracket  130  has a T-shaped channel, or “slot”, on the outside of each of its four sides. These channels allow the installation of either Partition Panel  1351 - 1352 - 1353  components, one into each channel, or the installation of a Finishing Strip  150  into any channel into which a Partition Panel  1351 - 1352 - 1353  is not installed. The dowels  143  would be installed to the bottom of the Post Bracket  130  during the manufacturing process, not by the person or persons assembling a structure. The exposed, unthreaded ends of the dowels would fit down into the corresponding holes  114  in the top surface of the Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055  when the Post Bracket  130  is fully installed to the Post  1251 - 1252 . 
       FIG. 14B  shows a Post Bracket  130  in installation position, relative to a “post” configuration Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055 , illustrating the orientation of the dowels  143  of the Post Bracket  130 , relative to the receiving holes  114  in the top surface of the Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055  (the Post  1251 - 1252  is not shown in this view, for visual clarity). With the Post  1251 - 1252  fully screwed into Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055 , and the Post Bracket  130  fully inserted down over the Post  1251 - 1252 , and with the dowels fully inserted into their receiving holes  114  in the top surface of the Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055 , the Post Bracket  130  cannot be rotated around the Post  1251 - 1252  without either lifting the Post Bracket  130  high enough to remove the dowels  143  from their receiving holes, or applying horizontally-rotating force sufficient to shear off the dowels. This also will secure, rotationally, any partition panel or panels  1351 - 1352 - 1353  installed into the Post Bracket  130 . 
       FIG. 15A  is an exploded front perspective view of an example assembly, illustrating that partitioning of different heights may be created by combining different components, and how those different-height components would connect together. Creating more extensive assemblies would simply require installing additional components necessary to achieve the required or desired final configuration of the more extensive assembly. A half-height Post  1251  component and a full-height Post  1252  component are shown in their installation positions relative to Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055  components, although not shown inserted into the connectors. A single Post Bracket  130  has been slid down over the half-height Post  1251 , with a Post Bracket Cap  140  in its relative installation position above it. Two Post Bracket  130  components have been slid onto a full-height Post  1252 , with one Post bracket Cap  140  slid onto the full-height Post  1252  between them, and another Post Bracket Cap  140  at the top of the second upper Post Bracket  130  in its relative installation position. Above each of the top-most Post Bracket Cap  140  components are the two components that can be installed through the Post Bracket Cap  140  component into the top of either a half-height  1251  or full-height Post  1252 ; these are the Finial  155 , and a Roof Bracket  180 . (Only one or the other of these two components can be installed to the top of a single Post  1251 - 1252 .) The Finial  155  component is used to secure a Post  1251 - 1252  assembly when no roofing components will be installed to a  1251 - 1252  assembly. The Roof Bracket  180  is used to secure the Post  1251 - 1252  assembly below it, while simultaneously allowing the installation of roofing components. The installation of either the Finial  155  or Roof Bracket  180  effectively secures the full Post  1251 - 1252  assembly, from the Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055  to the Finial  155  or Roof Bracket  180 , into a single, connected unit. 
     The Partition Panel  1351  components of this example assembly are installed by sliding them down into the channels on the sides of adjacent installed Post Bracket  130  components. When a second, higher course of Partition Panel  1351  components is installed to a full-height Post  1252  assembly, the bottom edge surface of the second, or higher, Partition Panel  1351  will rest on the top surfaces of the Post Bracket Cap  140  components installed at the tops of the adjacent lower installed Post Bracket  130  components. This would leave a space, or gap, between the top edge surface of the lower installed Partition Panel  1351  and the bottom edge surface of the upper installed Partition Panel  1351 . If desired, this gap can be closed by the installation of a Partition Panel Connector  175  component. This component fits down over the top edge of the lower Partition Panel  1351 , and the bottom edge of the upper Partition Panel  1351  fits down onto the upper surface of the Partition Panel Connector  175  (refer to  FIGS. 15D and 15E ), thereby closing and sealing the vertical gap between the two Partition Panel  1351  components. The horizontal length of an installed Partition Panel Connector  175  is equal to the horizontal distance between adjacent installed Post Bracket Cap  140  components, and leaves no unfilled horizontal gap between those adjacent Post Bracket Cap  140  components. The Partition Panel Connector  175  is not structurally necessary. 
       FIG. 15B  is a detail perspective view of the mid-point of the full-height Post  1252  assembly shown in  FIG. 15A . The dowels  143  of the upper Post Bracket  130  would be inserted into the small-diameter smooth-bore holes  142  in the top surface of the Post Bracket Cap  140 , thereby providing the same horizontally-rotational resistance to the Post Bracket  130  in this example as that provided to a Post Bracket  130  installed into a Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055 . Note the Finishing Strips  150  installed into the channels of the lower Post Bracket of this example. Also note the layer of gasketing material or compound  141  on the bottom surface of the Post Bracket  130 . 
       FIGS. 15D and 15E  are, respectively, diagonal and end-on perspective detail views of the complementary shapes of the top and bottom edges and surfaces of the Partition Panels  1351  shown in  FIG. 15A , and the shape of the Partition Panel Connector  175 , illustrating how the Partition Panel Connector  175  would seal the gap between the two partition Panels  1351 . 
       FIG. 16  is a top perspective view of a Post  1251 - 1252  and Post Bracket  130  assembly top junction, and the components that can be installed to that junction. A Post Bracket Cap  140 , shown both inverted  161  and in its upright installation orientation relative to the top of a Post Bracket  130 , is installed at the top of every Post Bracket  130 , regardless of whether the Post Bracket  130  is installed onto a half-height Post  1251  or a full-height Post  1252 . The inverted view  161  of the Post Bracket Cap  140  shows the recessed channels that will fit down over and around the top of the Post Bracket  130 . The hole in the center of the Post Bracket Cap  140  top surface allows the Post Bracket Cap  140  to be installed over a full-height Post  1252  when necessary, and also allows the installation of the Finial  155  component, shown here in a simple but functional configuration, or the Roof Bracket  180  component. With the Post Bracket Cap  140  installed, the threaded “bolt” element extending from the base of both the Finial  155  and Roof Bracket  180  is screwed by hand into the threaded top portion of the longitudinal hole  102  running the length of the Post  1251 - 1252 , until the base either of the Finial  155  or Roof Bracket  180  is firmly seated in the hole in the center of the Post Bracket Cap  140 , as well as against the top surface of the Post  1251 - 1252 . It can now be seen that, once either the Finial  155  or Roof Bracket  180  has been secured in place, the entire assembly of the Floor Panel Frame Connector  1055 , Post  1251 - 1252 , Post Bracket  130 , and Post Bracket Cap  140  then would be effectively secured together. 
     Any channel of a Post Bracket  130  that does not have a Partition Panel  135  installed would be filled by the installation of a Finishing Strip  150 . The Finishing Strip  150  component is shaped and sized to fill one channel of a Post Bracket  130 , and is installed into a channel of the Post Bracket  130  by sliding it fully down into an unoccupied channel of the Post Bracket  130 , thereby providing additional support and solidity to the Post Bracket  130 , preventing the accumulation of detritus in the unoccupied channel, and presenting a visually “finished” appearance to the Post  1251 - 1252  assembly&#39;s outer surface. When installed, its top surface would be level with the top surface of an installed Partition Panel  135 . Note the T-shaped vertical edges of the Partition Panels  1351 - 1352 - 1353 , allowing the Partition Panels  1351 - 1352 - 1353  to be installed by sliding them down into the T-shaped channels of the Post Bracket  130 . 
       FIG. 17  is a top perspective view of a roofing subset of components. (The Post Bracket Cap  140  component is the only component shown in this drawing that is not exclusively for roofing.) Because structures will vary in configuration from installation to installation, depending on intended use, not all components shown in this drawing are necessary to roof every structure. However, these are all the components necessary to roof any structure that can be assembled from the Handmade Structure System components. The Roof Bracket  180  component provides the connection point for Roof Beam  1851 - 1852 , Gutter Block  200 , and Integrated Gutter Section  190  components installed at the top of an installed Post  1251 - 1252  component. The Roof Beam  1851 - 1852 , in either single-length  1851  or double-length  1852  configuration, provides horizontal support for the Integrated Gutter Section  190  components. The Integrated Gutter Section  190  component is so-called because it performs two functions: (1) it collects and conveys liquid precipitation from the roofed area of a structure to the periphery of a structure, and (2) it provides the installation point and structural support for the Roof Panel  2451 - 2452  components. The Downspout  195  component collects, redirects, and conveys the precipitation conveyed by the Integrated Gutter Section  190  components downward through one or more assemblies of Downspout Pipe  220  and Downspout Pipe Extension  225  components toward the installation surface. Gutter Block  200  components prevent the outflow of collected precipitation at one quadrant of a roof junction where a Downspout  195  is not installed. The Junction Seal  205  component provides a water-tight seal at the junction of Roof Beam  185 , Integrated Gutter Section  190 , Roof Bracket  180 , Downspout  195 , and Gutter Block  200  components. Roof Bolt  215  components provide a secure connection of all roofing components installed at the top of an installed Post  1251 - 1252  assembly, either half-height  1251  or full-height  1252 . The Downspout Pipe Stabilizer  2301 - 2302  component is used when all or a portion of a full-height structural assembly is roofed. It provides a secure vertical midpoint connection for an assembly of Downspout Pipe  220 /Downspout Pipe Extension  225  components on a full-height structure. Water Fitting  2351  (dispersal) and Water Fitting  2352  (harvesting) components, installed at the bottom terminus of a Downspout Pipe  220  assembly, allow this collected and directed precipitation flow to be either dispersed away from an assembled structure over the installation surface, connected to an external water storage system, or conveyed to a more distant dispersal/collection point, such as a drainage ditch, sewer, etc. Various configurations of Downspout Pipe  220  and Downspout Pipe Extension  225  assemblies and Water Fitting  2351 - 2352  components allow connection to a water storage system that is either above or below ground, Any water collection/storage/conveyance system is external to the Handmade Structure System components, and is neither described in, nor a part of, this invention. 
       FIGS. 18A and 18B  are, respectively, top and bottom combined exploded and assembled perspective views of an Integrated Gutter Section  190  and a “single” Roof Beam  1851 , in their relative installation positions. The Roof Beam  1851  is basically an “I” beam with specially configured end connections and top and bottom surfaces, and provides full horizontal support for the Integrated Gutter Section  190 . The top surface of the Roof Beam  1851  is shaped to accept the installation of an Integrated Gutter Section  190 . The bottom surface of the Roof Beam  1851 - 1852  is shaped to be installed over the top edge of a Partition Panel  1351 - 1352 , if one is installed beneath the Roof Beam  1851 , although it is not required that a Partition Panel  135  be installed beneath a Roof Beam  185 . The Integrated Gutter Section  190  fits down over and onto the Roof Beam  1851 - 1852 . The “channel”  181  in the top longitudinal surface of the Roof Beam  185  accepts the “tab” extrusion  182  along the bottom longitudinal surface of the Integrated Gutter Section  190 . This prevents lateral shifting between the two surfaces when the Integrated Gutter Section  190  is installed onto the Roof Beam  1851 - 1852 . Each end of the Roof Beam  1851 - 1852  is shaped as one quadrant (a 90-degree segment of the 360 degrees) of a full circle, with a downward extension of the outer edge of this curved shape equal in depth to the depth of the inner “channel” of a Roof Bracket  180 , into which it will be inserted. Each end of the Integrated Gutter Section  190  has a shape identical to the one-quadrant shape of the Roof Beam  1851 - 1852  ends, and a downward extension of that “quadrant” shape edge, of a vertical length that brings the bottom of that curved extension flush with the bottom of the vertically downward extension of the Roof Beam  1851 - 1852  end when the Roof Beam  1851 - 1852  and Integrated Gutter Section  190  are in their installed positions. The curved, downward extensions at the ends of both the Roof Beam  1851 - 1852  and Integrated Gutter Section  190  are of equal horizontal thickness, and the combined thickness of these extensions is equal to the horizontal radius of the Roof Bracket  180  inner “channel”. When both a Roof Beam  1851 - 1852  and Integrated Gutter Section  190  are installed into one quadrant of a Roof Bracket  180 , that quadrant of the inner “channel” of the Roof Bracket  180  will be completely filled. 
       FIGS. 18C through 18E  show examples of various combinations of Roof Beams  1851 - 1852 , Integrated Gutter Sections  190 , a Downspout  195  and a Gutter Block  200  being installed to a Roof Bracket at the top of a Post  1251 - 1252  assembly; note the inter-locking of the various elements of the components. Note that it is possible to install Roof Beams  1851 - 1852  whether a Partition Panel  1351 - 1352 - 1353  is installed beneath them or not. 
       FIG. 19  is a top and bottom perspective view of a “double” Roof Beam  1852 . A “double” Roof Beam  1852  is structurally equivalent to a combination of two “single” Roof Beam  1851  components, installed into a Roof Bracket  180 , with the Roof Bracket  180  itself installed to a Post Bracket Cap  140 , but as one solid piece. This component allows for a greater span between installed Post  1251 - 1252  components without a Post  1251 - 1252  being installed beneath the midpoint, thereby allowing more unobstructed floor space within an assembled structure. The bottom surface of that portion of the “double” Roof Beam  1852  that is structurally equivalent to a Post Bracket Cap  140  varies from an actual Post Bracket Cap  140  in that it has no channels in its bottom surface shaped to fit over a Post Bracket  130 . Instead, it has a single square cavity  191 , intended to accept an identically-shaped extrusion at the top center of a double-width variation of a Partition Panel  1353  configured as a double door or window, if one is installed beneath the “double” Roof Beam  1852 . (The configuration, materials, form, or functionality of a panel element (hinged or sliding doors, bifold doors, glass or screen panel elements, etc.) of a Partition Panel  1353  that would make use of the square cavity just described is a possible and optional component configuration, and is not included in this specification; only the Partition Panel  1351 - 1352 - 1353  frame element is included.) As with the “single” Roof Beam  1851 , the installation of a Partition Panel  1351 - 1352 - 1353  beneath a “double” Roof Beam  1852  is not required. 
       FIG. 20  is a top and bottom perspective view of a “single”  2451  and a “quad” Roof Panel  2452 . A “single” Roof Panel  2451  is used to roof over an area equal to that of a single Floor Panel Frame  100 . A “quad” Roof Panel  2452  is used to roof over an area equal to that of four Floor Panel Frame  100  components assembled into a square. Both configurations of the Roof Panel  2451 - 2452  have a continuous channel  211  around their bottom periphery. The configuration of elements at the four corners of both “single” and “quad” Roof Panel  2451 - 2452  components is identical in dimension and structure. Both configurations of the Roof Panel  2451 - 2452  component have four corner posts, with a hole  212  in the bottom surface of each of the posts threaded to accept a Roof Bolt  215 . Each of the corner posts is positioned to align with the hole  151  in each corner of a Post Bracket Cap  140 . Both configurations have diagonally-intersecting vertical members to provide rigidity and support, although other configurations of these diagonals are possible. These diagonals merge into the posts at each corner. 
     A “single” Roof Panel  2451  is installed onto four Integrated Gutter Section  190  components contiguously installed at right angles to each other onto four equal-height Post  1251 - 1252  assemblies in a square configuration above a surface area that would be roughly equal to the surface area of a single Floor Panel Frame  100  assembly, with their four inner side walls effectively forming an open “box” framework. A “single” Roof Panel  2451  will be installed down onto the top of this “box”. The continuous channel around the bottom periphery of the “single” Roof Panel  2451  fits snugly down over and onto the top side/edge surface of each of the four Integrated Gutter Section  190  components, thereby sealing the “top” of the aforementioned “box”, and conveying precipitation from each of the four sloped surface planes of the Roof Panel  2451  into the four Integrated Gutter Section  190  components onto which it is installed. 
     A “quad” Roof Panel  2452  is installed onto a larger square “box” frame formed by two Integrated Gutter Section  190  components installed end-to-end on each of the four sides of this larger “box”. The end-to-end Integrated Gutter Section  190  components forming each side of this larger “box” may be installed onto a “double” Roof Beam  1852 , or two “single” Roof Beam  1851  components. Because each side of the “quad” Roof Panel  2452  spans the gap between two Integrated Gutter Section  190  components installed end-to-end, the midpoint of each side of the “quad” Roof Panel  2452  is configured with two (2) equivalents of the posts in each corner, for a total of twelve (12) posts. The “quad” Roof Panel  2452  has thickened portions  214  at the underside center of each sloped plane, to provide additional strength and support for the larger surface area of each plane. These thickened portions  214  taper in horizontal width from each of the side connecting points of the “quad” Roof Panel  2452  to the underside apex of the “quad” Roof Panel  2452 . 
       FIG. 21A  is a top and bottom perspective detail view of a corner connection point of both “single”  2451  and “quad”  2452  Roof Panel  2451 - 2452  components, while  FIG. 21B  is an inverted view of one of the four side connection points of a “quad” Roof Panel  2452 . When either configuration of the Roof Panel  2451 - 2452  is in its installed position, the threaded hole  212  in each of these posts will align with the unthreaded holes  151  in each corner of the Post Bracket Cap  140  upon which the bottom surface of the Roof Panel  2451 - 2452  posts rests, or the structural equivalent of a Post Bracket Cap  140  at the center of a “double” Roof Beam  1852 . This alignment allows the upward insertion of a Roof Bolt  215  through the unthreaded hole  151  in the corner of the Post Bracket-Cap  140 , or the structural equivalent of the Post Bracket Cap  140  at the center of a “double” Roof Beam  1852 . The Roof Bolt  215  components are then screwed by hand into the threaded holes  212  in the bottom of the Roof Panel  245  corner posts. Four (4) hand-tightened Roof Bolt  215  components are required to secure a “single” Roof Panel  2451  in place, while twelve (12) Roof Bolt  215  components are required to secure a “quad” Roof Panel  2452 ; one at each corner, and two at each side connection point. 
       FIG. 22  is a top perspective view of a roofing-connection-and-sealing-components assembly at one side connection location for a “quad” Roof Panel  2452 . In this particular example, the two (2) Integrated Gutter Section  190  components have been installed onto a “double” Roof Beam  1852 , but could have been installed onto two “single” Roof beam  185  components installed end-to-end. Both sides of this particular Roof Bracket  180  assembly have been filled with Gutter Block  200  components. Note the shape formed by the top edge surfaces of the Integrated Gutter Section  190  components and the Gutter Block  200  components, and how that shape matches the shape of the peripheral channel  211  at the midpoint of the “quad” Roof Panel  245  shown in  FIG. 21 . Each midpoint connection point of the “quad” Roof Panel  2452  will fit down over and onto an identical configuration of Integrated Gutter Section  190  and Gutter Block  200  components at each side of the square being roofed by the “quad” Roof Panel  2452 . 
       FIGS. 23A and 23B  are perspective views of a “quad” Roof Panel  2452  being installed to the midpoint of a “double” Roof Beam  1852  ( FIG. 23A ), and in its installed location ( FIG. 23B ). These figures illustrate how the positioning of the “quad” Roof Panel  2452  brings the two posts at each midpoint of that “quad” Roof Panel  245  into alignment with the corner holes  151  of the Post Bracket Cap  140 , or its structurally equivalent portion of a “double” Roof Beam  1852 , at that midpoint.  FIG. 23A  shows the “quad” Roof Panel  2452  in position to be lowered onto the installed Integrated Gutter Section  190  and Gutter Block  200  components at this side of the “quad” Roof Panel  2452 .  FIG. 23B  shows the “quad” Roof Panel  2452  in its installed position, relative to the other components at this location. Each of the “quad” Roof Panel  2452  component&#39;s four (4) side midpoints will fit onto and over the components at their respective locations. With all components at this location installed, one (1) Roof Bolt  215  will be upwardly inserted through each of the four (4) holes  151  in the corners of either the Post Bracket Cap  140 , or, as in this example, the structurally-equivalent portion of a “double” Roof Beam  1852 , and screwed into the threaded holes  212  of the “posts” of the Roof Panel  245 , if one is installed, or into the threaded holes of Roofing Clamp  210  components otherwise. 
       FIGS. 24A and 24B  are, respectively, inverted and upright perspective views of connecting and sealing components for roofing. 
     From top to bottom, in each figure, respectively, the components are: 1) the Roofing Clamp  210 . This component is used to secure each corner joint of a roofing component juncture that is not occupied by the corner and post element of a Roof Panel  2451 - 2452  at one corner of an installed Post  1251 - 1252  assembly, either half-height  1251  or full-height  1252 . The Roofing Clamp  210  has a vertical post element, analogous to the corner posts of a Roof Panel  245 . The vertical element of the Roofing Clamp  210 , like the corner posts element of a Roof Panel  2451 - 2452 , has a threaded hole  212  in its center bottom surface. The top portion of the Roofing Clamp  210  is shaped to fit snugly down over the corner joint formed by the juncture of two Downspout  195  components, or the juncture of two Gutter Block  200  components, or the juncture of a Downspout  195  and a Gutter Block  200 , installed adjacently and at right angles to each other, into a single Roof Bracket  180 , and after the installation of a Junction Seal  205  component. The bottom surface of the vertical post element of a Roofing Clamp  210  will rest on the top corner surface of either a Post Bracket Cap  140 , or the structurally-equivalent portion of a “double” Roof Beam  185 ; 2) the Roof Bolt  215  component. The Roof Bolt  215  has a shaft threaded to screw into either the threaded hole  212  in a Roofing Clamp  210 , or the threaded hole in the posts of a Roof Panel  2452451 - 2452 . The head of the Roof Bolt  215  has a large “tang” to enable the hand-installation of the bolt; 3) the Junction Seal  205  component. This component is formed to fit down into the “four-cornered” junctions of Downspouts  195 , Gutter Blocks  200 , Integrated Gutter Sections  190 , or any combination thereof, installed at the top junction of Post  1251 - 1252  assemblies, the configuration of said assemblies determined by the desired or required roofing configuration of an assembled structure. It seals all the vertical seams between these components, and also seals the horizontal seams between components installed into the Roof Bracket  180  that supports the entire grouping of roofing components installed to the Roof Bracket  180 . The round extrusion on the bottom surface of the Junction Seal  205  fits into the hole in the top of the central column of a Roof Bracket  180 , to prevent lateral shifting of its bottom surface relative to the top surface of the Roof Bracket  180  onto which it is installed; 4) the Downspout  195  component. This component captures liquid precipitation flowing to it from the Integrated Gutter Section  190  components, and redirects that precipitation downwardly through its “pipe” element downwardly into a Downspout Pipe  220  toward the installation surface. The top “floor” of the Downspout  195  has a hole with a beveled or chamfered “lip” to facilitate water flow into the downwardly-oriented “pipe” element of the Downspout  195 . The ends of the side wall are vertically angled at 45 degrees to allow them to fit flush with adjacently-installed Downspout  195  components, or Gutter Block  200  components, or Integrated Gutter Section  190  components, whichever might be installed adjacent to the Downspout  195 . The top surface of the Downspout  195  “floor” that is installed over and into a Roof Bracket  180  is “stepped down” from the remaining “floor” surface, to allow the Junction Seal  205  component, when installed, to bring the entire top surface of this junction of components to a horizontally flush and even level with the top “floor” of the Integrated Gutter Section  190 . The bottom end of the “pipe” element of the Downspout  195  is threaded on its outside surface to allow Downspout Pipe  220  or Downspout Pipe Extension  225  components to be screwed by hand onto the “pipe” element of the Downspout  195 . That curved and downwardly projecting portion of the Downspout  195  that will be inserted into the Roof Bracket  180  is shaped identically with those portions of the Roof Beam  1851 - 1852  and Integrated Gutter Section  190  components that insert into the top inner channel of a Roof Bracket  180 . The thickness of the curved downwardly-extending portion of the Downspout  195  is equal to the combined thickness of the portions of the Roof Beam  185  and Integrated Gutter Section  190  components that are inserted into the circular channel on top of the Roof Bracket  180 , thereby entirely filling one quadrant of the circular channel of the Roof Bracket  180 , when installed. The remaining portion of the “base” element of the Downspout  195  will rest on the top surface of the Post Bracket Cap  140  installed below it, or the structurally-equivalent portion of a double Roof Beam  1852 , with the curved inner surface of the “base” element of the Downspout  195  resting flush against the round outer side wall of the Roof Bracket  180 ; 5) the Gutter Block  200  component is shown. This component is physically equivalent to the supporting “base” portion of a Downspout  195 , and the curved connecting portion that is inserted into the Roof Bracket  180 , but with a straight and solid “back” wall at a right angle to its side walls, instead of the curved vertical side wall of the Downspout  195 . It installs in exactly the same manner as a Downspout  195 , and is used to close one quadrant of a Roof Bracket  180  assembly at which no Downspout  195  is installed. Like the Downspout  195 , the curved inner surface of its supporting “base” will rest flush against the round outer side wall of the Roof Bracket  180 . It will prevent water from flowing out of one quadrant of one junction of roofing components at the top of a Post  125  assembly. 
       FIG. 25  is a front exploded perspective view of an example corner assembly of supporting and connecting components for a Roof Panel  2451  installation. In this example, a Post Bracket Cap  140  will be installed atop an installed Post  1251 - 1252 , with a Post Bracket  130  having been slid down over the Post  1251 - 1252 , and Finishing Strip  150  components installed into the side channels of the Post Bracket  130 . This Post  1251 - 1252  assembly may be either half-height  1251  or full-height  1252 , as both half-height and full-height structures may be roofed. The threaded “bolt” element of a Roof Bracket  180  will be inserted through the Post Bracket Cap  140  and screwed into the threaded hole  102  in the top of the Post  1251 - 1252 . In this example, a “single” Roof Beam  1851  will be installed into one quadrant of the Roof Bracket  180 , and a “double” Roof Beam  1852  will be installed into an adjacent quadrant of the Roof Bracket  180 . Two (2) Integrated Gutter Section  190  components are shown being installed, one onto the “single” Roof Beam  1851  and one onto the “double” Roof Beam  1852 . 
       FIG. 26  is an elevated front perspective view of the same example corner assembly shown in  FIG. 25 , showing the relative installation positions of precipitation-directing and sealing components after the components shown in  FIG. 25  have been installed. With the Roof Beam  1851 - 1852  and Integrated Gutter Section  190  components installed, this example corner assembly will be completed by installing a Downspout  195  and a Gutter Block  200  into the quadrants of the Roof Bracket  180  not filled by Integrated Gutter Section  190  components, with a Junction Seal  205  then installed to seal this junction of components at the Roof Bracket  180 . Then a “single” Roof Panel  2451  will be installed downwardly into the corner formed by the Integrated Gutter Section  190  components. Three (3) Roofing Clamp  210  components will be installed down over the three “outside” corners of the junction. Three (3) Roof Bolt  215  components will be inserted upwardly through the respective corners  151  of the Roof Bracket  180  Cap and screwed into the threaded holes  212  in the Roofing Clamp  210  components, while a fourth Roof Bolt  215  (not visible here) will be inserted through the fourth (inside) corner hole  151  of the Post Bracket Cap  140  and screwed into the threaded hole  212  in the immediate corner post element of the “single” Roof Panel  2451 . 
       FIGS. 27A and 27B  are, respectively, an elevated front perspective view of the installation of a Junction Seal  205  component onto the junction of components installed at this example junction assembly as shown in  FIGS. 25 and 26 , and, in  FIG. 27B , an elevated front perspective view of the now-installed Junction Seal  205  component. The Downspout  195  and Gutter Block  200  components are shown in their installed positions relative to the Roof Bracket  180 , Roof Beam  1851 - 1852  and Integrated Gutter Section  190  components. This view further illustrates the manner in which a variable combination of components can be arranged at the Roof Bracket  180  to accommodate any desired or required configuration of roofing assembly. The Junction Seal  205  completes any combination of installed components at a Roof Bracket  180 , making it ready for the installation of Roof Panel  2451 - 2452  and/or Roofing Clamp  210  components. 
       FIG. 28  is an exploded front perspective view of the relative installation positions of the final connecting and sealing components at this example junction. With the completed assembly of all other components at this example junction assembly, the Roofing Clamp  210  and Roof Panel  2451  components are installed. With the Roofing Clamp  210  and Roof Panel  2451  components in their installed positions, four (4) Roof Bolt  215  components will be inserted upwardly through the holes  151  in the corners of the Roof Bracket  180  Cap, and screwed into the threaded holes  212  in the Roofing Clamp  210  and Roof Panel  2451  post elements. 
       FIG. 29  is an elevated front perspective view of the completed example corner installation of roofing components shown in  FIGS. 25 through 28 . With four (4) Roof Bolt  215  components at each junction (one at each corner) regardless of the combination of components joined at the junction, each junction is securely fastened to the Post  1251 - 1252  assembly beneath it. The installation of a variety of roofing components is possible at any junction, depending on the desired configuration of the assembled structure, and the desired configuration of the roofing. It is not necessary to roof an entire structure. It is possible to roof only a portion of an assembled structure, and the area covered by the roofed portion need not correspond to the floored portion of the assembled structure. 
       FIGS. 30A through 30D  are front exploded perspective views of an example series of possible combinations of Downspout  195 , Downspout Pipe  220 , Downspout Pipe Extension  225  and Water Fitting  2351 - 2352  component combinations. The pipe components are configured in two (2) lengths. The longer of the two is the Downspout Pipe  220 , while the shorter is the Downspout Pipe Extension  225 . The tops of the Downspout Pipe  220  and Downspout Pipe Extension  225  are threaded along their inner surfaces at a length equal to the length of the threading on the outside surface of the “pipe” portion of the Downspout  195 . The Downspout Pipe  220  and Downspout Pipe Extension  225  components may be screwed together by hand in any desired or required configuration, and either may be screwed by hand onto the threaded “pipe” portion of the Downspout  195 , thereby extending the water-conducting length of that component downward toward the installation surface. 
     The Downspout Pipe Extension  225  typically would be used to connect two (2) Downspout Pipe  220  components assembled to a full-height roofed structure, allowing the water flow to reach near the installation surface. 
     Depending on the height of the structure to which the Downspout  195  and its related components are to be installed, and also depending on the purpose desired by the installer, the combinations of these components for any particular assembly is completely variable. 
     The assembly shown in  FIG. 30A  could be used at a Downspout  195  assembly on a full-height structure to convey precipitation to a point near the installation surface, there to be either dispersed or harvested. At this near-installation-surface level, the harvesting configuration of the Water Fitting  2352  would allow connection to an underground water storage system, or conveyance of the water to a drainage system at some distance from the assembled structure, while the dispersal configuration Water Fitting  2351  would allow the dispersal of the water horizontally across and onto the installation surface. Refer to  FIG. 32C  for examples of the assembly shown in  FIG. 30A . 
     The assembly shown in  FIG. 30B  would allow connection at a point from just below the vertical midpoint of a full-height structure to an above-ground water storage system, such as a rain barrel or trough, for example.  FIG. 32C  also shows an example of this assembly. 
     The assembly shown in  FIG. 30C  allows precipitation directed from a half-height roofed structure to be either dispersed over the installation surface, or connected to an underground storage system, or conveyed to a more distant drainage system.  FIG. 32D  shows an example of this assembly. 
     The assembly shown in  FIG. 30D  would allow precipitation directed from a half-height roofed structure to be connected to an above-ground storage system, such as a rain barrel or trough, for example.  FIG. 32D  also shows an example of this assembly. 
     As stated, these are only some of the possible configurations. Other configurations could be assembled, as desired or required. In each assembly where the harvesting configuration Water Fitting  2352  is used, the Water Fitting Cap  240  would be used to seal a threaded coupler of Water Fitting  2532  where a connection to a water storage system from both threaded couplers of Water Fitting  2352  is not made. 
       FIG. 31  is a front perspective view of configurations of Water Fitting  2351 - 2352  components. If precipitation conveyed from the roofed portion of a structure is to be dispersed over the installation surface, then the dispersal configuration of the Water Fitting  2351  would be used. If this conveyed precipitation is to be collected (harvested) into a water storage system, the harvesting configuration of Water Fitting  2352  would be used. It is possible to use both fittings on the same assembled structure, although only one Water Fitting  2351 - 2352  component can be installed at the bottom terminus of any individual Downspout Pipe  220  assembly at a time. Except for the fan-shaped “exit” portion, both configurations are identical. The dispersal configuration simply redirects the flow of water at a horizontal 90 degree angle, presumably away from the assembled structure. The harvesting configuration has two threaded connectors set into a “plate” or “wall” obstructing the fan-shaped “exit” portion of Water Fitting  2351 . These threaded connectors are of a size and threading to allow the connection of standard garden hoses or their equivalents to the two threaded outlets. The Water Fitting Cap  240  is used to seal a connector when no connection is made between one of the threaded outlets of the harvesting configuration and a water storage system. Like the threaded connector at each end of a standard garden hose and the body of the hose itself, the top  311  and bottom  312  portions of both Water Fitting  2351 - 2352  components rotate freely and independently of each other about their connecting juncture, allowing the Water Fitting  2351 - 2352  to be oriented to any desired or required direction. 
       FIGS. 32A and 32B  are, respectively, a top and bottom perspective exploded and assembled views of an installation of Downspout Pipe Stabilizer  230  components into the corner holes  151  of a Post Bracket Cap  140 . Downspout Pipe Stabilizer  230  components are typically used only with full-height assembled structures at those locations that have Downspout  195  assemblies installed. The Downspout Pipe Stabilizer  230  component has two configurations: 1) “Corner”  2301 , and 2) “Side”  2302 . The corner configuration  2302  is used at an “outside” corner of an assembled structure, when two Downspout  195  assemblies are installed adjacent at a right angle to each other at a single Post  1252  assembly. The “side”  2301  configuration is used at any other location where a Post Bracket Cap  140  has two adjacent corner holes available and a Downspout  195  assembly is installed. (Note: Downspout  195  assemblies, including Downspout Pipe Stabilizer  230  components, cannot be installed at an “inside”, or ninety-degree L-shaped, corner of an assembled structure.) 
     The Downspout Pipe Stabilizer  230 , in either configuration, consists of a ring element with an inside diameter large enough to allow a Downspout Pipe  220  or Downspout Pipe Extension  225  to fit snugly but smoothly through it. It is used at the approximate vertical midpoint of a full-height Downspout  195  assembly, or near the bottom of a Downspout  195  assembly extending downward from a Downspout  195  installed to approximately the vertical midpoint of a full-height structure (refer to  FIG. 30B ), typically for connection to an above-ground water storage system. 
     The “side”  2301  configuration has two (2) downward-projecting cylindrical extrusions at each end of a horizontal connecting bar. The two extrusions insert into two adjacent corner holes  151  of a Post Bracket Cap  140 . The ring element is thus aligned with an installed Downspout  195  assembly, with the Downspout Pipe Extension  225  fitting inside the ring. This component provides stability to the Downspout  195  assembly by limiting vibration or other lateral movement of the Downspout  195  assembly caused by wind or the flow of water downward through the assembly. The “corner” configuration has an L-shaped horizontal connecting bar, with three (3) cylindrical downward-projecting extrusions, and is installed into three (3) Post Bracket Cap  140  corner holes  151 . It provides the same stability for two Downspout  195  assemblies installed adjacent at a right angle to each other at an outside corner of an assembled full-height structure, that the “side” configuration provides for a single Downspout  195  assembly. 
       FIGS. 32C and 32D  are perspective views of example structures illustrating possible combinations of Downspout  195 , Downspout Pipe  220 , Downspout Pipe Extension  225 , and Water Fitting  2351 - 2352  components, as they could be installed to either half-height or full-height structures or assemblies. The tray-like implements shown beneath certain installed combinations of Downspout  195 , Downspout Pipe  220 , Downspout Pipe Extension  225 , and Water Fitting  2351 - 2352  components, are not components of the invention in this disclosure, and are shown for illustrative purposes only. 
       FIG. 33  is an elevated front perspective view of an example fully-enclosed and roofed structure. This example structure illustrates some possible combinations of the Handmade Structure System components, and is intended to give a general idea of the possibilities for assembling structures using this invention. Although this example structure is basically rectangular, the inclusion of the roofed “porch” illustrates that this system of components is not limited to rectangular structures, nor is there any inherent limitation to the size or configuration of an assembled structure. The roofed “porch” also illustrates that the two Roof Panel  2451  and  2452  configurations and sizes can be used in a single structure. The Partition Panel  1351 - 1353  components shown in this example illustrate the variability of materials used for the interior “panel” portion of the Partition Panel  1351 , 1352 , 1353 , as they are shown here as being of a mesh screen material, rather than a solid (unperforated) “panel” element as illustrated in previous figures. Again, materials, configuration, functionality, etc. of the “panel” element is not included in this disclosure; any “panel” elements of a Partition Panel  1351 - 1352 - 1353  shown in this disclosure are shown only for illustration. The Floor Panel  110  components used to provide the floored surface of the “porch” illustrate that the Floor Panel  110  surface need not be solid (unperforated), but could also be “slotted” or “ventilated” (perforated), to allow precipitation to drain through the Floor Panel surface. The surface finish, materials, and decoration of the “panel” portions of Partition Panel  1351 ,  1352 , and  1353  components, as well as the top surface of Floor Panel  110  components, is completely variable, allowing great flexibility in both the appearance and utility of these surfaces. Only the physical configuration and dimensions of the elements of floor panels and partition panels that fit into or connect with other components of the system are fixed or required. With the appropriate fittings installed to either a Partition Panel  135  or Floor Panel  110 , it would be possible to conduct water, electricity, or heating/cooking gas into a structure. The configurations of Partition Panel  1351 ,  1352 ,  1353  components make possible fully functional windows in a variety of forms, bifold doors, wire-mesh panels, etc. While this example illustrates a full-height structure, it is possible to create fully-enclosed and roofed half-height structures (refer to  FIG. 32D ), or partially-enclosed and/or partially-roofed structures, and structures with separate sections or portions of variable height, enclosure, roofing, etc. 
     Since other modifications and changes varied to fit particular operating requirements and environments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, the invention is not considered limited to the example chosen for purposes of disclosure, and covers all changes and modifications which do not constitute departures from the true spirit and scope of this invention. 
     Having thus described the invention, what is desired to be protected by Letters Patent is presented in the subsequently appended claims.
