Hey dudes, i've just come out of a four year uni course and have commenced full time work as a town planner. It's full on work, with lots of stress and deadlines, but the money is good.

I'm going to continue work in this field for about another year or so, and then i'm thinking of heading more into the design field. Architectural drafting / building design is what i'm thinking of entering into.

Are there any architectural drafters out there? What are your thoughts / experiences in this field?

Astro,

Get into Architectural/Building design over town planning, any town planners i know hate their jobs as its the same shit everyday. Your work will be more enjoyable as a designer as it wont be so repetitive.

Put it this way, would you rather be going through others designs all day or would you want to be designing your own stuff?

Its as simple as that.

Drafting and Design are two different things all together though.

I considered doing the tafe course part-time (Advanced Diploma of Building Design - Architectural) as I enjoy designing buildings and such in my free time, and starting a weekend company, but at 5 years part time and 26 grand I decided against it - now I just need to find a drafter to redraw my extension plans for council approval...

If you want to get in to a real autonomous design field....I recommend civil designing....

designing roads, sewer, drainage, water reticulation, etc. I can state more applications..

It'll open up a fair few opportunities and not too much of a leap from town planning I hazard to guess.

I've done a bit of building design albeit small residential stuff low story etc...but definitely for more design involvement and challenging opportunities try civil.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay

      An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).

      Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the piss  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks

      have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.

      Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot!
