Casework Shop drawings and reflection of the year past and looking to a new!


The Year 2010 will soon be over and we Should reflect back and take account of the events that have taken place.






I have seen a lot of Small Businesses including Millwork, Casework & Wood Work Companies down size and even go Under in this tough Economy. I have to be thankful that We have been able to build new Client base steadily over the last 8 Months Providing Drafting Services, Millwork Shop Drawings, Casework Shop Drawings, Custom Woodwork Drawings, 3-D Modeling and 3-D Photo Rendering.















We live day to day and may not realize that the Small Businesses are the Horse Power of the Economy and while not as Major an event as some of the things i have listed below, still down sizing and closings are Major to the lives of the Communities and small Businesses. We as Small Business owners have to be better, stronger, faster and use technology, Skills and Innovation to be Competitive in a down economy. I would like to see 2011 be the year of the Small Business. My Goals for 2011 are to Gain Strength and Wisdom, and to enjoy the love of my friends and family.

So on to a few things that you may not have know



January 4 – The tallest man-made structure to date, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is officially opened

February 3 – The sculpture L'Homme qui marche I by Alberto Giacometti sells in London for £65 million (US$103.7 million), setting a new world record for a work of art sold at auction.

April 20 – The Deepwater Horizon oil platform explodes in the Gulf of Mexico, killing eleven workers. The resulting oil spill, one of the largest in history, spreads for several months, damaging the waters and the United States coastline, and prompting international debate and doubt about the practice and procedures of offshore drilling.

May 20 – Scientists announce that they have created a functional synthetic genome.

July 25 – Wikileaks, an online publisher of anonymous, covert, and classified material, leaks to the public over 90,000 internal reports about the United States-led involvement in the War in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2010.

November 17 – Researchers at CERN trap 38 anti hydrogen atoms for a sixth of a second, marking the first time in history that humans have trapped antimatter.

December 21 – The first total lunar eclipse occurred on the day of the northern winter solstice/southern summer solstice since 1638

Now while yes all pretty major things right along with an arm long list of other major events yet none of them more major than the Day to day lives we have lived and loved. Our days working to Survive and Provide in a Down Economy. So reflect back on the events that where important to you and maybe tell me a little about them!

I know that regardless of all that has occurred my most major events have been things like Camping with the family, Building Stuff with the kids, and The Major Days at the Beach. These are the things i will most reflect on!

In Closing to the Year of 2010 and in looking to a new i would like to leave with these words.

my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior, the one who saves me from violence.

Casework File Drawer Clearances


















Always Check the vertical clearance. Often we have Architectural drawings come in with drawers noted as "file drawer". They also have a clear vertical of 9 5/8". That's fine if your hanging system leaves 0.00" between the hanging folder bottom edge and the drawer bottom, and you don't put anything in the folders that extends above them. We always use 11 1/4" as a standard from interior drawer bottom to bottom of the drawer above or face frame rail depending on the cabinet type. I hate it when manila folders poking up above the hanging folder go pbpbpbpbpbpbpbt against the dust panel as you push the drawer in.

REAL ESTATE FLOOR PLANS

Why should you be providing floor plans ?

Research has shown that property buyers will expect to see the following items when searching for a property online.

Still Photos, Floor plan, Virtual Tours ( "360 Photos" where appropriate ), Location Map of the Property, Amenities in the area

Floor plans are regarded as one of the most important requirements as the online property buyer is able to view the entire property layout from this information. The floor plan will also give the buyer an approximate indication of the entire property size plus individual room sizes.

An architect may seal and sign any documents, instruments of service, specifications, reports or other work which requires the seal and signature of a registered architect prepared outside of the architect’s office, so long as all of the procedures set forth below are met. This Rule (61G1-23.015, F.A.C.) does not address the procedures required of an architect in sealing and signing work which falls within the definition of “interior design” as that term is defined in Section 481.203(8), F.S.
(1) The architect accepts professional responsibility for all architectural design activities of a project performed outside of the architect’s office throughout design development and the production of all documents and instruments of service. The architect shall prepare and maintain as evidence of the architect’s continuing effort in such work: written calculations, correspondence, time records, check prints, telephone logs, site visit logs or research done for the project and shall provide such evidence to state or local authorities upon their request.
(2) The architect maintains written documentation that the architect has personally supervised the preparation of all documents and instruments of service, reviewed all project data, personally inspected the project site and entered into a written agreement with the persons preparing the documents accepting professional responsibility for such work.
(3) The architect makes certain, if the work which the architect intends to seal and sign has been prepared by another person outside the architect’s office, that whenever such final work is submitted to a client, building owner or building user, the architect is present during such submissions in order to respond to questions from the client, owner or user. The architect shall maintain written minutes of such a submission meeting.
(4) If an architect fails to maintain written documentation of the items set forth in subsections (1)-(3) above, when such are applicable, then the architect shall be considered to be in violation of Section 481.221(4) and (5), F.S., and the architect shall be subject to disciplinary penalties as provided in paragraph 61G1-12.004(2)(c), F.A.C., “Plan Stamping.”
