Currently busy drawing working drawings, for an additional external braai area in Boschenmeer Estate.  Finished with the plan, section and 2 elevations a couple of days ago, started drawing the details for the pergola  that has a cover on top of it.  Detail drawings require a bit more knowledge, and i ask my fellow colleges about the fixings and naming of the materials now and then.  Also had to make miner changes to a store that i drew up during my first couple of weeks at the firm.

The drawings that went to the clients came back, the one is satisfied with the design of their new braai area and the other client requested small changes to be made.  I looked at different sizes of columns, so that the ones we use are similar to the existing columns.  Then also had to make changes to the section, plan and elevations.  Today we also went to a client that owns a massive food packing company, where we had to measure up to see if the older plans are correct and then directly after that we also went to a client that owns a panel beating shop.  There we had to measure up a little, but mostly look for the positions of all the fire hydrants and fire hoses in order to draw up a fire plan for them.  Yesterday Paarl reached a temperature of 41 in the afternoon, really glad there's an aircon right on top of me :)

I finished the drawings for the extensions recently, printed them out and now they will go with Louis to the clients to go discuss it further.  This morning I had to go to the Stellenbosch municipality to hand over the ryder plans for a house that was being modified and had to pay them.  It all went quite smoothly and then arrived at work later.  During the meeting yesterday it was mentioned that there will be another extension project, which probably means my next project.  Last week Saturday was Louis' birthday and we all celebrated it by going to a restaurant called Primi, where we had pizzas, wine and beers.  Was a good way to end the week and start the weekend!
