COMMERCIAL, COMMERCIAL
Over my 52 years of experience working as an Architectural Designer Draftsman, I have come upon a number of different kinds of projects. Mainly commercial in nature.

When putting together a set of construction drawings to be submitted to the local building officials, I make sure noting is left out. My drawings are so complete that the building department rarely has any questions about the project.

From Stair designs, remodeling projects, to new construction. I have specialized in measuring existing buildings and remodeling.

Some of the buildings that I have completed over the years are.

The Community Bio Resources building, located on Council St NE, CR. (Now a Dental Office)

The Ragtop Diner, located at the highway 100 & Council St intersection. (Now Panera Bread)

The Medical Office building on Edgewood Rd NE, located in the River Ridge Development. (Now empty)

The Collins Community Credit Union, located at Westdale.

The Garbage Bag

Life and feelings are like garbage that you put into a Garbage Bag. Everyone has to have some sort of release in life. They need to talk to someone, a friend, a mate, or even sometimes a relative. Anybody that you feel will give you an impartial response.

I have found that a good friend makes the best sounding board. They will listen to you, help you decide on a course of action to take through the mountain, problem, feeling, or what ever. You just, need, a sounding board sometimes, to bounce around ideas. They may not even say anything, or give you an opinion.

Most of the time, you have already made the right decision in your own mind; you just have to hear yourself say it. I know a lot of people who keep their problems to themselves. They tell me, "I don't want to burden anybody else with my problems." These people are, destined, to explode under the pressure.

The longer you go without taking garbage out of your bag the larger the bag gets. It may start as a kitchen size, but when more and more years pass, it grows to a lawn bag. People that keep their feelings to themselves for a long time need a large garbage bags. They keep putting, in, the garbage, the thin plastic gets thinner, thinner, thinner, and without taking any out someday that bag is going to explode. BOOM!!!!!!

Over the past few years I have worked on a number of home remodeling and new homes. During that process the owner has hired an Interior Designer to layout the plan to their desire. That is all well and good. But, that service is incorporated in my process.

When an Interior Designer is involved in the layout of the plan the owner ends up paying twice for that service.

Interior Designers role working with my company is to pick out wall, floor, cabinet & door finishes.

When I was in seventh grade one of my drafting teacher told me that “If you find a job that you love, you will never work a day in your life.”

I have been an Architectural Designer Draftsman now for 52 years, and I haven’t worked a day in my life.
