Hello again,
This week was very slow - work is getting done at a pace that snails could overtake. Uncool!!
The more we try to finalise work, the more work we get. For some reason they just keep rolling in.
I'm not complaining -but its suddenly building season. I am glad to report that a number of projects
are indeed ready for council and clients are satisfied and ready to build. And, there are others that
are currently undergoing construction-YIPPEE. I suppose funds were on the down-low ,therefore
building was put on hold for a very long while. The church which I drew at the beginning of the year
is actually undergoing remodeling. Was on site on Friday and saw the progress. Lots of demolition work.
They removed the 10m high ceiling (needs restructuring) and the rotating stage which was used as an altar.
Tough labour. Had a brief meeting with the roof guy, the floor guy, the carpenter guy, the sound guy, the electrician and some other dudes regarding the next step. We discussed things like appropriate ceiling boards that are cost effective, well insulated and aesthetically pleasing/that matched the existing ceiling boards. The large church was not insulated at all and had vinyl floor tiles-I was in shivers for the duration of the meeting. And the poor builds were extremely hot due to the intense labour and machinery. Bad Designer!! For not having a fire escape plan in a large public space as well! There were quite alot of things I learnt on this particular day - how to deal with those on the job, listening to their opinion and reminding them that you designed things for a reason and that they should adhere to it. You Know What You Talking About!! I also spent the day calling building centres - enquiring about a new material/product that we need for a certain job that requires a specific roof sheet. Wow, how does one spend so much time running around without running at all? Beats me. But Alas! all is well-I survived a couple of dead lines but there are still many more to go.
Better get my running shoes ready for next week.
Cherry-oh!!
