Today I spent the whole day at the Churchill building work site with Tim, the sub-contractor I mentioned yesterday. I attended meetings between Tim, Taylor, the architect as well as the leasers. After that meeting we (Tim and I) went to lunch with the architect and Taylor. I told them what I plan on studying and why it was good to see what a contractor is responsible for as well as what their relationship is to an architect, which is what I was more inclined to becoming prior to this internship. I made the analogy that the architect is the creator of the sandwich, while the contractor is the one that shoves it into the box (pictures below). Taylor gave me some good tips when it came to finding out what I want to study/do for a living, and it was a good experience. After lunch Tim and I kept digging for the plumbers and then waited a while for the inspectors for electrical and plumbing to come by. We meandered around for around an hour and they still didn’t arrive, so I salired for the day. I’m back in the office Monday so we’ll see what’s in store for me then!
