LAST WEEK AT NOEL'S FIRM... :( 

This week went by too fast. Although we got some work to do. I had worked on, for the last time, the carport council submissions for a client in Harfield. Final tweaks and notes were added, then we printed and coloured the set of drawings. All that was left was for Noel to fill in the council submission forms.

Thursday was our last day of working and Noel had decided to take us to Kirstenbosch Gardens for lunch, even though he wasn't feeling to well. We had taken a brief walk through the gardens, then we took a look at the "Untamed" art gallery designed by Enrico Daffonchio. I really enjoyed it: Thanks Noel. Here's a few photo's I took along the way: 

Friday, Yusuf and I had decided to  visit Noel to say our final goodbyes. We put a gift together to give to Noel just as a "thank you" for having us for the whole year. Or rather: For putting up with us for the whole year...haha. :) It was sad to leave. I really appreciate all the guidance Noel has given us this year. I will miss having to work at his firm. :) 


Now to prepare for 3rd year ... Wish me well :) 


Regards to all...

LAST WEEK BEFORE 3rd BLOCK! :) 


There's a few things I had to finalise for Monday's submission. But it is getting there. This week I had also been studying for the tests that are coming up between Monday and Tuesday.


My office work for the week: Alterations to a house in Claremont. There were some problems with the staircase leading to the basement, which we're still busy working through. 


Regarding the MIP: Coca-cola finally replied. They will be sponsoring us some coke drinks for lunch time during the 3rd block at St Micheal's Primary School. The lecturers had made a plan for our lunch as well. 


This weekend I have to prepare and pack for the stay in Grabouw. Apparently,  I will be staying at a cottage on a farm in Elgin. Will be fun!! 


Thanks 
Rukiya :)

For most of the week, Noel allowed us to work on our University submissions. For this week, I concentrated on the MIP and any other resubmissions I had. All submissions are to be in by the 24 October 2011. 

I had also draughted the coat-hangers the design team had designed. The coat-hangers are to be made from 1 whole board of Marine Ply. See the detailed drawing below:

I did, however do some work for the office. We had to colour a set of council submission drawings for an addition to a restaurant on a farm in Westerdale. 

This week I had involved myself in quite a bit of planning for the MIP... It was going quite well. The members of the design team had sourced a number of materials for the project. I was asked to help wit the arrangement for a lunch menu for our days in Grabouw.

Time is drawing close to our major project. Really excited.

Thanks,

TWEAKING...

For the whole week I had been busy tweaking drawings. On the Rondebosch project, some additions and adjustments were made (handrails, staircase details, cupboard details, etc..). And on the carport project in Harfield, minor adjustments were made (roofing details, etc..). Some general drawings were also done this week for the template folder: a conservancy tank detailed drawing - which would, for future, be attached to plans that require such detail. 

On Wednesday we had gone for a site visit to the Princes Road project. At this stage the had excavated and are now busy with the piling foundation trenches. (Below is a video to show you what they were doing. They had to resort to pile foundations due to unstable soil.) 

Also this week, I sent sponsorship letters out to various companies. Asking for assistance with refreshments for each day for the duration we would be building at St. Micheal's Primary School. And also to companies, asking for donations towards trees for the garden at St. Micheal's. No response yet, but will still keep trying.

I'll keep you posted on how things go..

Thanks, Regards.

Rukiya. :)

Another week with the Rondebosch project. Just doing some minor changes and working on the presentation (adding landscape and shadow effects). Working towards it being added to the brochure.  

Also worked a bit on the carport drawings for the house in Harfield. There were some details I had to correct. Now it's just for Noel to finalise it so they can go for council submission.

Noel hasn't been feeling well for the past couple of days. Due to the chemotherapy he's having for the treatment of his cancer. He has two more sessions left. I really hope he gets well soon. :) 

Thanks,

Rukiya.
