seems like a problem around the globe where it’s all fun and games til the inner workings are put on display.
I’m sure it will get fixed once the discussion… It’s a design flaw! No Construction mistake! Bad Maintenance! … gets worked out

Personally I prefer concrete or stone as they wear better and ‘feel’ more durable.  GFRC de…[Read more]

… I don’t get it.  Maybe it’s me.  Somehow I doubt it.

Do sponsors get to put advertising on the panels for rafters to enjoy?  /Big Bill’s Bait ‘n Tackle/ right up next to /Boater Life Insurance/ (actually that one would be too late) etc etc

my experience leans towards out-sourcing.  Gives better results for the investment of time/energy.  Though admittedly we will actually go to a render company’s office for landscape (because no one can quite get the green stuff right) to tweak camera angles, add in photoshop landscape components a…[Read more]

My comments were certainly not directed solely at yours.  I agree fully with what you had to say about building a strong basis in design.  My comments were merely a reflection of my own memories of that period when I spent a period distracted by trying to find the best software for presentations and focused less on the actual de…[Read more]

Absolutely not to put a damper on the purists out there who feel everyone should go old school and draw everything by hand (it is an invaluable rite-of-passage), but hand-sketched presentations take time and skill to develop just like photoshop.  The new generation have seemingly less patience and a p…[Read more]
