RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) Project part : 2

The RISD(Rhode Island School of Design)kids have been working their arms off and the house is finally coming out of the ground!
At this stage of building there is always a job to do whether it's brick laying, brick scraping(to make them flatter), filling buckets with mud, shovelling the things that go into the mud, manning the cement mixer or taking the bricks to the brick layers.

5 Days later...
The house is almost done they just have to finish the roof and the window sills.
There are still the same jobs that need doing and there are still plenty of jobs to do but I stick to scraping the bricks for the layers.
The RISD kids are really thankful for our help.
I will give you the next update soon.
Bye!!!

RiSD (Rhode Island School of Design) Project.

The Casita Linda Presentation was the first part of this post.

We went out to the site just after they had finished the foundations with the help of a digger. At first they thought they would be able to dig the foundations themselves but it turned out they needed to be very deep so they needed to get a digger to do it faster because the only had 3 weeks. The digger dug it then they made it more precise by lining string over the top then digging where the lines were and they had to finish it by hand. The next day they poured a concrete layer for the bricks to rest on, there was a lot of shouting, concrete mixing, pouring and checking if the concrete was level. On the third day they started brick laying and that day there was a lot of shoutng for bricks, for mud, cutting the bricks so they fit were they were needed, brick laying and checking if it is level. There was one other thing scraping bricks to make them flatter and easier to lay. Not bad for a bunch of architects! Hope you keep reading my blog! Bye!

Business report(my mum made me do this).

This is a business report for a trade show I went to.
We were there to look at options for new materials to make our bean chairs out of.

ANPIC is an international trade show for materials, parts of shoes, machines to create synthetic and to pattern leather.

It was held in Leon from the 14th of February to the 17th of February in Leon's event centre.
This Expo gave some up-and-coming companies a chance to try to find some long term clients and the well established ones, find some more clients.

There were many different stalls and materials to choose from, almost all at good prices.
The show had many different people from many different countries buying and selling their wares.

To get in you had to have a buyer status, a vendor status or an exhibitor status.
They had some very specialized stalls that sell only zips, etc.
The show is held every year at around the same time in Leon's event centre.
That's all for now.Bye!!!

haiku poem...

I have written a haiku poem that I thought you might like to hear.
In case you don't know what a haiku poem is I will explain.(if you already know what they are just skip this).
A haiku poem Is an ancient japanese type of poem that doesn't rhyme and has to have exactly 17 syllables, and 3 lines that consist of 5 syllables on the first line, 7 syllables on the second and 5 on the last.
Haiku poems usually convey feelings or poetically describe an event.
My Haiku poem is about pain this is it.

Pain...

Like a hammer hits.

Destructive, relentless and

pounding, powerful.
