Ishmael Blackstone Post #3

Yesterday, I spent the day with an architect, Joey Flynn who works closely with Ray to  designs the houses that he builds. I wanted to do this because being an architect is one of my aspiring interests and I thought it would be a great opportunity to see what the day-to-day life is like. Basically, I’ve concluded that I don’t think that becoming an architect is for me. I like to be active and constantly focusing on more than one thing. That day was a little slower than the construction life where you’re constantly problem solving issues that may or may not arise during the building process. Being an architect takes a lot of time and concentration on a certain project which isn’t my strong suit. With that being said, I have gained an appreciation for architects by realizing that the effort is takes to construct a house from scratch is immensely commendable to say the least. Knowing that you’re plans need to be understandable and accurate in order for the other processes to work accordingly. It’s definitely not an easy job and one that is often not given the credit it deserves.
