Thanks for the time taken to bring up some details, sounds just exactly like the type of project I’d love to work on ! We had created community gardens in my faculty, and all loved it. Have fun !

I know what you mean : been in SZ too for a few months. Loved the projects, loved my boss, but daily conversations limited to “go eat ?” when it was time for lunch just killed me. I ended up totally isolated, depressed, video-games addicted and my english got worse than ever.

Sorry, can’t help for material, but curious to know about decision to have wide timber for seating : isn’t it bothering for gardening ? Could you please be kind to share how decision was made (client/users decision…) ?

if you’re on Linked-In, I’d recommend you ask your question in that group :

Hi Jason, Nca, ty for your input.

I like this NAS idea, especially that it actually doesn’t need to run all the time for backups. The thing is that the cloud also has the advantage of re-locating your files somewhere away from your other storage solutions, which I find really reassuring Vs events like fire, burglary, etc.

I’ve now checked…[Read more]

Tanya, thanks for your feedback.

If you’re on Linked-In, I’ve found this group of certified arborists most resourceful :

Hi Robert, Thanks for your answer. Using windows, interested into pro use.

My aim is to have a safe haven for my libraries and work archives. Would be updated frequently with current work. This way, if another hardware/software problem occurs, I can just simply wipe the problematic drives and get my core files back quickly.
A side benefit is that…[Read more]

Hi Aurelien, 

I’m a French LA working in Asia, I settled in Thailand for good in 2006. I checked your website and liked what I saw, keep it up !

Gus

Fully agree with Ashley : I also have been away from Autocad for a few years in the past, and it does come back quickly when you get your head into it. Even the new interface, options, icons, whatever. It’s a scary one, but after all, it’s just another software…

Again, autocad is just one skill amongst (too) many skills LAs need to  master.

Gita, 

Could you please elaborate on your need : what you want to achieve is not very clear to me.

Do you want to make a printed or interactive online presentation ? Can’t you use Photoshop or equivalent to do it ?

Have a look at the portfolios here and at other places, that will help you know where you stand.

Now, one interview is just not enough, it barely counts as ‘warming up’. Find 5 more interviews, or visit offices (good threads about that last point here on Land8)

a sad article, but then what do you expect from the guardian ?

or a surveyor forum ? They should meet that situation daily and know the best fix

Before I die . . . I want to horseride up to the Grand Canyon with indians.

Not sure this one grows in your neck of the woods :
Trachelospermum asiaticum

In Thailand they use this material : (see PDF)

and this plant :
Scientific name : Chrysopogon zizanioides 
Scientific name (old but frequent) : Vetiveria zizanioides  
Common english name : Vetiver
Thai name : หญ้าแฝกหอม 

I’ve seen several pictures of projects in central america using it for erosion control. The use of that plant is fairly rec…[Read more]

Good luck, keep us posted !

I actually had a possibility once to go for it and give it a go, for a hotel. This has been discussed, as I put forward the possibility for a NSP, and my client was familiar enough with the concept to have  an itch. Now, there was not time for extra-training, or no extra budget for coaching, so when the client asked me if I could vouch 100% for…[Read more]

Hi Sara, not too sure we have many french LAs in here, so I will try to help you…

I’m a french, graduated from France, but I’ve never really worked there, so I don’t know up to which extent I can help. Anyways, bring it on, what are your questions ?
