Weekly Update

This week involved minor tweaks to all of the projects which we had been working on recently. Time was spent tweaking the 19 & 21 Princess Road, and adding shadows to the sections and elevations of the Bantry Bay drawings. During this time I had the opportunity to save all of my work to pdf format, ready to add to my PSS portfolio.
This weekend we will be training for a speedball tournament thats happening on 9th October, so I will also be working on the MIP academic paper to have it ready before then.

Intasure Spring Regatta

I took Friday off to sail in the South African Sailing Flamenca class Nationals. Our team was determined to win, as winning this would give us our colors for sailing. The southerly wind was strong, and the sailing was close but we managed to win 1st place, by about half a meter.
Saturdays sailing was not great, I got seasick during the long waiting period between races, and we got three 3rd places, which removed all hope of winning the regatta due to total points - but we were tied with another boat for 2nd place, and we had to beat them.
Sunday was great, we got two 2nd places, which secured 2nd overall for our team. We almost had a 1st place, but I tripped a set of cleats and both sails came down while we were winning. My bad.
All in all it was a good regatta, and we went home with our silver medals and a Garmin GPS navigation system.

Weekly Update

This week I completed the 19 & 21 Princess Road council submission. The new lightweight first floor structure was much easier to draw this time around, as I am now familiar with it thanks to the Wesley Road job.
I added all the the council notes and specifications, as well as the additional notes council requested as ammendments for Wesley Road. All that is left now is for our Architect to check my work, and hopefully the plans will go through council without objection.
