- I am an Electrical Engineer for a Paper and Pulp company and I am working on a Paper Machine rebuild at the moment (R1.5 billion). It is the first project of this magnitude that I have undertaken and has been a learning process of note.
- My little family is in the process of purchasing our first home. Up to now we have been renting accommodation. The reasons we started looking were: a) the market prices for housing have increased rapidly in the last year (37% average); b) I wanted to buy a new car - so it was either a car or a house. Other than that, we were pretty happy in our flat on the Berea.
If I have to be honest, I would say that this blog is primarily for me. I am hoping that family and friends will visit. I am hoping that you will enjoy or get some edification from reading my ramblings. But, ultimately, this is an outlet for those little things that make an impression on me. I am certainly not the most interesting person to walk the Earth at the moment - but I would like to share my experiences.
I will tell you a little more about the house and our plans for it in the next post.
