Cold week

This week started as a disaster, as my working laptop gave in, the nice thing was that i got to work at home from Monday till Wednesday. Wednesday we bought a new laptop and I installed all the needed software on it and working on a new pc is really nice.

This week I started by working on the elevations of House De Milander and after that I started an As Build drawing of House Luskey. Then I had to make a few changes to, House van Wyk, House Spinks and house Goss.

I finished all those projects today , because there were only a few minor changes to those projects. Then this afternoon I had to make some corrections on council drawings which took a while because there were 3 sets of plans of 11 A1 pages each. I had to change 3 things on each drawing so that took about 4hours and only finished work at 5.

Had a good and busy week so far and now I have to work on this Hub Project.

Busyness

This is the first morning I got in to work having to wait till the boss gets in, yesterday I printed plans picked up and delivered, must say getting out of the office every now and then is nice, some days i get to office and work straight through till 5.

I'm currently working on 2 projects House Goss and House vanWyk, their both additions. In the last month i finished about 4 projects, jumping between them the whole time as one is always more important than the other.

We finished designing 2 new houses, one is for plot and plan in Paardeberg and the other a new house in Durbanville, House De Milander. We're basically finished with the designing and basic plans for the house. In a few days i will be starting on the council drawings for the house.

Only thing I'm worring about, and i'm sure there's more people worring about it, is the progress we're making in our studies...

Good Times, Busy Times

The last few weeks I've been so busy, seeing clients, printing plans, driving everywhere, but the nice part is that i get paid extra per km. I've been doing a lot of work with "Lucas Quality Thatchers" as they have designed and built a few lapas for clients and then the clients needs plans for it. The only problem is that there is never just the one thing new, when i go do measurements there's always a few structures that need to be drawn up,

The house in Hermanus that i worked on we took the old thatch roof of and designed a second story with a new thatch roof . The only problem is that the previous owner of the site built on a braai room over the building lines and now we are sitting with the problem.

We are also busy with two massive new houses, the one i  mentioned earlier house De Milander and a new project in Paardeberg, I helped on the designing of the houses and now we started on municipal and 3D drawings.

I got a new co-worker that does all the new 3D work in the office so I don't do the 3D's any more, just sometimes helping him with a few things.

I'm still a bit sick after seeing 3 different doctors and then going for a sonar and they can't do anything about it, so now I just have to wait for it to go away by itself.

Seeing forward to next week and my pile of work on my desk...
