Breaking Ground

Hi

This week one of the projects i have been working on for several weeks has started with construction, and its been an amazing experience...

To see something take shape in reality let me realise things don't always look the way you imagine them on the pc or in your mind, in this case it was better!

I also did some bathroom layouts for a project that will be starting in july, things there will be more complicated than the one that broke ground now, it presents a new challenge on the ladder of experiential learning.

baby steps

this week i did almost nothing at work, maby i'm exagerating but compared to the usual routine this week has been a breeze.

I'm house sitting for my boss while he's away so this has presented a new set of challenges new routine and morning rituals, he has a dog "Leo" that is 16 years old and needs to be walked every 4 hours so you can imagine how that changes your dayly routine.

on the other hand i had my first solo site meeting this included the builder 3 clients (this was a community project) a consultant and the financer, everything went untill they started juggling ideas of their own which meant drastic changes to what we've been working on for several weeks now, this was when i put my foot down and explained the logic behind our ideas and how they manifested in this way.

Needless to say everyone agreed and the builder received his deposit on the same day. Construction will start on monday, its empowering to wear the mantle of go-to-guy on a project, even a small one such as this.
