VCR - 4/17/2007 1:23 PM That is the reason why the other technicians in Portugal think all Architect are nuts, puzzles whit photocopies, model build whit strange materials and of course the classical "project designed in a paper napkin" :) VCR, what kind of Architects do you have in your parts of the woods? We Architects are well mannered, precise, simple, organized, diligent, always on time, LOOOVE details, we say what we mean, accommodating, pedantic, obstreperous, forgiving, we can draw on walls, doors, floor screeds, with marker pen draw noughts and crosses on tiles and painted walls, great capability in interpreting building jargon, mathematicians, getting on with all the people in a project, (especially interior decorators), marriage consultants, divorce arbitrators, knowledgeable in all fields and just perfect in issuing payment certificates to clients and taking away money from Contractors! In simple words we are Impeccable!   amzimmy | |

Posts: 850 | Re: and the G owner thread was going so well... VCR - 4/17/2007 5:45 PM Love the divorce and marriage consultants bit. I actually had same clients that started arguing in a meeting to define the programme for there house and left the meeting running and screaming …eventually they divorced. It was just after I left university and I have to admit I was still too young to manage a thing like that. Yep....Have been there many times, got some T-Shirts as well! The bothering matter is that they get counselling for nothing, and one can not even charge a fee for it!  I must admit that loved to arrive site with my G, open the side awning, take out the easy-chairs and table and start the site meeting in the shade amzimmy | |

| Re: and the G owner thread was going so well... Then there is public work - we won a Europan a while back and have been trying to get the project built. Funding is in place through EU but each time we are due to make progress they hold an election, change gov't and we have to start all over again with new people...  | ||
