Add lines about 0.5in (1.3cm) from the edges of the rooms to indicate the length of the sides. Then, create another line about 1in (2.5cm) from the exterior wall of the house to indicate the total length of each of the outer walls. For example, if you have a 12 feet (3.7m) long living room next to a 10 feet (3.0m) bedroom, label these, and then include another line with the total dimensions of the outer wall of the house. Adding furniture will help you to get an idea of how well everything will fit into the space you have created. Use symbols for the furniture included with an architect's stencil, or find them online and draw them freehand. If a room seems like it will be cramped, then you can expand it. For example, if your bedroom furniture will not fit comfortably into the bedroom you have drafted, then you could add 3 to 5 feet (0.91 to 1.52m) to the room. You will need to purchase windows and doors to fit in the house as you are constructing it. Make sure you know what dimensions these will have to be and indicate on the blueprints where each window and door will go using letters. For example, you might call the front door "Door A" and place an "A" by the front door symbol. For windows or doors that will be the same size, you could use the same letter for each. For example, for any windows that will be 26 by 36 inches (66 by 91cm), you could use the letter "C."

When trying to listen for a beat by ear, make sure you give the piece of music all your attention. Use headphones or move to a quiet environment with no noise interruptions. If you're trying to listen for the basic beat of a song, tune out the top instruments like lead guitar or vocals. Try listening for the bass instruments, like the bass guitar or bass drum. If you're listening to a digital recording, try turning up the bass so that you can hear it more easily. In a song, the bass line often carries the steady beat. Ignore the complex rhythm and melody. Try to pick out what feels like the heartbeat of the song. Listening to the drum line is the best way to count the beats. In country and rock music, you can typically hear the bass drum on beats 1 and 3 and the snare on 2 and 4. In pop, funk, and house music, the bass drum is generally played on all 4 beats, which is referred to as "four on the floor." A musical phrase is a segment of music that sounds complete in and of itself, often only a few measures long. Practice listening to natural phrasing in music. Think of listening to a song as though you were listening to a conversation. Where would the breaths be? What sounds like a musical "sentence"? Try counting these smaller sections of the music to find where the downbeats fall. Again, use your words, or tap your feet along to the beat that you feel. If you are not on the beat, practicing out loud will make it more obvious and easier to get back on track.

One-sentence summary -- Eliminate distractions. Pay attention to the lower instruments, like the drums. Listen to phrasing. Say it out loud.

Buy a container of chalky paint and soft-bristled paintbrush from your local paint supply store. Dip the end of your brush into the paint and apply a thin layer to your metal furniture. Work from the top of the piece down toward the bottom until it's entirely covered in paint. Leave the paint to dry overnight so it has a chance to cure. Make sure not to use chalkboard paint instead of chalky paint. Chalky paint has a matte finish and is usually used for distressing, while chalkboard paint is meant to be written on once it's dry. It's okay if the first coat doesn't cover the metal evenly since it will make your piece look more distressed. Once the first layer is completely dry, put on another coat of paint until your furniture has even color. Once all of the exposed metal is covered with paint, let it dry for 3-4 days so the paint has time to settle. Don't try to distress the metal while it's curing because the more paint may peel off of the metal than you want. Get the corner of a cleaning cloth wet and rub any areas where you want to expose the metal underneath the paint. Work around edges and corners since they're areas where distress naturally happens first. Apply light pressure to lift up the paint. If you accidentally remove to much paint, pat the area dry and cover the spot with another coat. Dip the end of a cheesecloth in the finishing wax and pick up a small amount from the container.
