The Week!

Now that we have identified who we are, CCS 2011, and established our two practical groups the class continues to progress in the classroom and the workshop. On Monday we visited the "7 steps of construction" taking notes during this class will prove valuable as the year progresses.
Tuesday time was well spent sorting out Blogs for everyone, the key to this exercise will be the participation of the entire class, and finally Wednesday, a morning with Louise our international designer (recently returned from a successful position in England) her specialty at Unitec is Tec Drawing. The practical lessons proved to be challenging for the uninitiated, hammer, nails, chisels and planers a new experience for most.
The enclosed picture: we have been asked where our shirts came from (the blue Habitat shirts). This picture was taken in Samoa last January (2010) the workers were part of a team of 28 to assist with the rebuild of villages following the September 09 Tsunami that decimated the southern coastline of Upuloa. Unitec sponsored 13 staff and 2 students. Richie and I were stoked to be part of the team!
