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. :)
The income of jobs at the office has been going rather slow for Noel lately. But nevertheless, we still have to keep moving forward. There is still some draughting to do. I'm working on the carport project for the house in Harfield. All I've done so far is some sketchplans, the client has to take a look at them so they can approve. Noel seems to be okay with my draught work, except for some detail issues. But I've got it covered. :)
Then after having done some sketchplans, I went back to the Rondebosch project, completing all the draught work. All that needs to be done are some presentation aspects. The aim of completing the Rondebosch job is so that he can put it in his brochures and on his soon to be website. This is being done because Noel needs wider advertisement for his company.
So end of the week... And I'm super excited for the weekend (><,) hehe. So much tension in the week, I'm looking forward to enjoying my weekend with my friends. We are going to the Ratanga Junction (game park). The cobra is the best way to de-stress. haha.
I'll tell you guys how it went :) Hope you all enjoy your weekend. Thanks
This week I had still worked on the Rondebosch project. I'm 90% done with all the draughting. After all the draughting work, Noel would like us to work on some presentation - like adding some landscaping and shadows, etc. Wealso have lots of other draughting work to do. But we're waiting on Noel to set them up.
Also this week, at home, I had to finish the set of council submission drawings for the house in Grassy Park (the addition of a boundary wall and the alteration to the outbuilding). For this Monday coming, Mr Lamb is expecting the Houtbay drawings to be completed, so that is to be done over the weekend.
Hope to find some time to work on the MIP. Time is drawing close to the deadline, and for the most exciting part of the year: :-) Our contribution to St. Michael's Primary School. Cant wait!
As last week, I continued to work on the Rondebosch project. It is almost complete. Just to finish the sections and elevations. The redraughting of this project is taking a bit longer than I thought, but it's getting there.
A new but small job came in this week. The addition of a carport to a house in Harfield. So for the rest of the week I had just been drawing up the existing plans. I managed to complete all the drawings. Just waiting on Noel to assist me with the design of the carport.
In the week I also had some plans to finish for Mr Lamb. A house in Houtbay urgently needed some plans to be drawn. Unfortunately, they were scammed by the builder. This builder had not followed the original building plans that were done by Mr Lamb and he got away without completing the building. Therefore, Mr Lamb and I had to redraught all the changes the builder had made to the plans because the clients were being drilled by the inspector for updated plans.
Also, a client in Grassy Park wanted alterations done to her existing out building and a boundary wall added to the street boundary. I'm currently busy on the existing plans, so this Saturday, Mr Lamb and I will be busy on the alterations.
In this week as well I've been researching for the MIP. I thought that it would be a great idea to use waste tyres for one of the projects at St. Michael's. And I had also suggested to Jolanda and Hermie that it would also be a good idea to use waste bottles in the construction. There are many things one can do with waste bottles. Below is an example:
This week I had continued to work on the Rondebosch project: finishing the basement, ground floor, first floor and site plans and detailing them with annotations and landscaping, etc.
Also this week I had to work on some plans for a house in Hout Bay for Mr Lamb. I've just managed to finish the existing plans. Now for the weekend I'll finish the alterations that need to be made. and also add a boundary wall. Also, for this weekend, I have to draw up some plans for an outbuilding and a boundary wall for a house in the Lotus River area.
LOTS of work to be done... but I'm good, hanging in there. :)
