24. CMU=Three Bricks 8" x 8" x 16" Concrete block, when reinforced with concrete columns and tie beams, is a very common building material for the load-bearing walls of buildings
30. Doors Transom: the horizontal lintel or beam across a window, dividing it into stages or heights Sidelight: Is a window usually with a vertical emphasis, that flanks a door.
31. Electrical Components The house Underground Transformer: steps the voltage from the power source before entering the house.

43. Gypsum Board A common method of constructing interior walls of gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper, then kiln dried.
44. Heat Pump Compressor-is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Evaporator-takes air and evaporates it when it becomes moist.
46. Insulation Batt-here is put in to keep unwanted air from heating or cooling the wall to the interior rooms. Keeps the cold from entering the house and keeps the warm air in when cold

57. Plywood Long thin sheets of wood that are glued together. Veneer-thins slices of wood that are glued onto core panels.
58. Radiant Barrier A reflective foil placed adjacent to an air space in a roof or wall assembly as a deterrent to a passage of inferred energy.
59. Rebar Thickness is 5/8 inch, #5 The purpose of this is to form a column to support the next floor.
60. Steep roof draining Gutter-A channel that collects rain water and snow melts at the eve of the roof. Downspout- a vertical pipe for conducting water from a roof to a lower level.
69. Steep roof terms Ridge – the level intersection of two roof panels Valley – a roof ridge the drains water towards it. Eave – the horizontal edge at the low side of a sloping roof. Rake – the sloping edge of a steep roof. Soffit – the undersurface of a horizontal element of a building’s roof
