WEEKLY POST

Hey :)

This week there was not much that happened, it was another peaceful week. Not that I had nothing to do, the work just was not that demanding. Monday -Wednesday I had redraw a drawing that was done in 2002 becuase the drawing could not be found. I had to draw the plan from a printed out copy that was printed in 2002. For the elevations I had to draw from scratch because they were not on the printed out copy. All I had as a reference were the pictures on the printed copy but they were thumbnail sizes, very small and hard to compare and get a base point. I however did manage and was able to complete the drawing for council submission.
Thursday I went on a site visit with one of the senior architects at the firm. We went to a old cape dutch style house where it was going to be turned into a museum keeping most of the existing house in tact. Due to the fact that this is not the first time that the house would be renovated, the contracter had to chip away the plaster at certain areas of the house to see whether or not the new renovations would interfere with the existing structure. We had to make sure that the wall would be strong enough to take on new renovations otherwise the wall would calapse. This was a very important step as we wanted to prserve most of the heritage of the house as we could.
Friday (today) I had not much to do as my boss is not in today. This gave me time to work on my academic paper for Monday which will make my weekend a little more relaxed.

That all for this week till next time. Have a good one :)
