28 - Feb

During the last two weeks, we went to Boschenmeer golf estate in Paarl to measure up existing buildings.  Both wanting to make extensions to their houses, one that I was busy drawing the past week or so wanted an additional 'braai' room as well as a living room.  During this time I have drawn the plans, elevations and a section and had to go back to the drawings numerous times to make changes according to the client.  I have learned that you're never quite finished with a drawing until they actually built the thing.  Today me and Louis Phillips (architect and one of my employers) are going back to Boschenmeer to go to one of the houses, since it doesn't completely match the older plans that we have of the house.  I've already drawn out the existing building and now just waiting to go measure and then draw the additional veranda and extension to their existing 'braai' room.
