19 - April

In th past weeks the plans that went to Boschenmeer Country Estate came back and approved, that ment i had to complete the forms for council so that they can have a look at it.  Just waiting for the engineers quote and then they'll be on their way.  Also finished my other project for Boschenmeer, that was printed and sent to the client by pdf, the same steps will be taken to get those plans approved, first to Boschenmeer and then to council.  Then my bigger project that I'm busy with at the moment, is coming along nicely, finished drawing 2 sections, 4 elevations, floor plan and site plan.  Just need to add annotations and draw a couple of detailed drawings.  This is for a client in the Bellville area, who made alterations to the inside of his house, by knocking out most of the walls and creating a bigger living area and also making new additions to the house with a granny flat and terrace.  Then we started measuring up for a job from the municipality, to re-vamp a community center and kinder garden.  The site is starting to give problems due to the age of the buildings and all the additions that have been made over the years, that plus a strict deadline is making it quite difficult.  So in all things are still on the busy side and still moving forward, just don't know when i will have time to continue on my work for CPUT 0_o

Work in the office is getting quite a lot and everyone is focused on their work most of the time.  Today i finished my first full set of plans, elevations, sections, details etc. and printed 3 copies of them, 2 for Boschenmeer estate and another one for the clients.  Then we"ll send copies to council for approval.  Yesterday we continued measuring up at the Zonnebloem farm, we were on site for about three and a half hours and measured up 3 buildings inside and out.  I also had to do small jobs today like folding plans in the correct way so that they can be sent to council for submission as well as filling in some forms.  I started now with another project that i also had to do with in  the beginning of the year, started with the working drawings today, finished putting in dimensions so far.  There's also another small addition to a building in Boschenmeer that i have to do the working drawings for, so I'm juggling the two at the moment.  Work is tiring sometimes, but i enjoy it a lot especially with the people I work with and it feels like I'm learning something new every day :)
