This week our architect got us sketching and draughting again. I was assigned to do sketch plans for his daughter's house in Kommetjie, and come up with a design which did not make the new first floor look like an obvious add on. Desmond Jackson also finally visited our firm, and spent a long time talking to our architect, all seemed well.
I also had a meeting with the manager of Pennypinchers in Claremont, with regards to sponsorship for the MIP. He was very keen on the idea and agreed to give us the materials we required at cost price, but after seeing the list of materials, they unfortunately had no stock of the items we needed. If the list was given to me a bit earlier, they could have ordered what we needed for us. After this, he kindly gave me the details of their suppliers, who would be able to give us what we needed in the few days before our delivery truck leaves for St. Michaels, he also let me fax from their office.
I made a million phone calls to organise quotes and the like for the materials we needed, and finally got them all to the higher ups. I also was in contact with Baltic Timbers, The Pole Yard, and Michael Sedgewick for the better half of two days, organising the delivery and procedures.
And now it is time to prepare for block 3, all submissions and paperwork to be updated, exams to study for, and a design-build to accomplish.
