My 27th week at Stauch & Partners Architects

The 27th week of mine (13-17 August) went on quite smoothly. I went on with the bathroom layouts and drew up two bathrooms in sketchup. The drawing up was absolutely not problem, but the materials and their settings turned out to be difficult to balance. I got help rendering the drawings which came out wonderfully at the end. :-)

My 26th week at Stauch & Partners Architects

In my 26th week, (6-10 August) I just went on with the bathroom layouts which were changed constantly and turns out that it took quite some time to draw up properly: which was not very exciting. :-P
I had a site visit on monday (to the site on which's drawings I'm currently working on).  We had a short site talk/ meeting. They had huge excavations going on there to lay the (reinforced concrete) stormwater pipes intended for that area. They are beneath the units and 1200mm in diameter = massive!

My 25th week at Stauch and Partners Architects

The 25th week which was from 30 July to 3 August I just cam back again from our blog date (workshop) in Cape Town. I had to draw up a sliding/folding door detail aswell as a boundary wall detail for the units I've been assisting on the previous few weeks.
I started with bathroom layouts for all five units.

My 24th week at tauch & Partners Architects

In my 24th week (23&24 July) there was not much going on, for me only being in office for Monday and Tuesday. I just went on with drawing detailed sections.

My 23rd week at Stauch & Partners Architects

In my 23rd week (16-20 July) I finished off the first section on Tuesday. I went on a site visit to the units I'm busy working on, on Wednesday. It's all still very slow on site due to the massive earth leveling, which is a 'schlepp' because of all the Maika Stone making it difficult to dig.
The first house was allready as far as slabs being layed and more interestingly the ablution and drainage pipes which I have drawn on the drainage plans, were being layed.
I finished off three detailed sections that week.
On friday we had a cleaning afternoon where we had to clean up and sort out plans and documents in our office.
I also prepared myself for the up comming workshop (blog date).

My 21st week at Stauch and Partners Architects

The week was from 2-6 July. In this week I printed out the Drainage plans and one of the drainage plans (Unit 5) was issued to site, which I had to deliver to site.
I started Electrical Layouts for the same units, indicating only sockets, exterior lights, alarm, intercom, internet, telephone line, etc. (basically everything that is installed through the floor or walls)
