Hand in....

So this week i was working on details, plans and sections....

Unfortunately i had a 3 day week because I was down with a fever so when i got back to work i had to draw up a plan that one of my collages forgot to do up but for some reason i enjoy drawing up plans, its weird I know...

We were also getting our pss portfolio ready to hand in so there was a lot of printing going on and checking of drawings so we could get it done before Friday.

So that's how my week played out...

Will keep you posted ;)

So for the past 2 weeks while Ayesha was unfortunately busy with admin work i was assigned to do all the existing elevations for the current job we are working on.

I was literally busy with elevations for 2 weeks because there were so many elevations to do due he size of the building and the design which has a lot of corners and turn, so i basically have it coming out of my ears already lol.

The thing that made it so much more fun is that i had to guesstimate heights because all we had was plans, so i had to constantly look at pictures that were taken in order to finish them, cant wait for us to get the actual measurement.

So that how my 2 weeks played out lol

Will keep you posted ;)

Emails, Emails and more Emails

My week was full of seeing correspondence,sections and elevations....

Ayesha and I had to go through ALL the correspondence for a job that we kinder still working on and it was a nightmare looking at email after email and drawing up a list of all of it. I have never read so many emails ever.....

the sections and elevations that were being done was for the same job so that everything as done when the client approached us...

So that how my correspondence filled week played out...

Will keep you posted ;)

Campus Week

So this week was very chilled due to the fact that we were just getting drawings ready for clients.

For the 3 days i was at work I've been busy typing up drawing issue records and  issue slips, plotting drawings and making the necessary changes to drawings.

Spending the last 2 days of the week at campus was fun to just see everyone again. I found the lectures to be quite interesting. It was so funny to see how excited the lecture got when presenting us with work and i guess that"s what gets others excited.

So that's how my week played out.

Traumatizing Experience

So this week hasn't been too good, I'ts been a real low point in my life and its hard to come back from.


Monday i was attacked and robbed by 5 school guys so I wasn't at work for about 2 days since my mentor gave me the days off. i'm back at work today but not in a good place and i guess it will take me a while to get back from it but with the good support i have hopefully I will be feeling better sooner than later.


It's been quite a traumatizing experience for me since i was alone and there was nobody around to help.


So that"s the worst week of my life....


Will keep you posted :(

So this week has been very chilled and stress free...


I've just been concentrating on turning the sketch design part of this project into working drawings so we've been busy wit sections and elevations of the new design.


Our mentor is trying to get Ayesha and I very involved in order to boost our knowledge and portfolio and i appreciate everything he has done for us thus far.


So that's my week for you....


Will keep you posted:)

So this week i had a new experience of going to site and actually measuring up on a new project we have been introduced too.


The site we went to is very secure so nothing gets past them, it was really intimidating with all these guys with guns. The brief requires us to convert a ablution block into a kitchen and to turn store rooms into bedrooms, it seems quite dodge to me but i guess it can be done.


So this week i have been focusing on drawing up the existing plans and elevations of the current project and its been good.


So that's how my week played out.


Will keep you posted.
