Really Proud of My Son

[Carsie]

Morning fellow PH's

Just heard some great news I'd like to share.

My 22yr old son is studying to be an architect, a dream he's had since a young lad.

I once found him measuring up our cottage and sketching it out on Google Sketch; he was just 14ys old at the time.

He's passed his Pt1 exams and is now on a year out working at a small firm. Yesterday he got news that his building design for a care home had just got planning permission.

"All I've got to do now Dad, is work out how to build it!" lol!

Well done Carsie Jnr - Very proud of you!

That is fantastic, following a dream from a young age to fruition. I can only hope the same for my son (currently only 2 years). Bet your well proud as I know I would be.

Nice one, maybe he has snuck in a hidden annexe so his old dad can stay for free

[Sheetmaself]

Good on him, maybe get him a bottle of whisky share a drink now, share a drink when ground breaks and share a drink on completion?

Or similar if you dont like whisky or large distance

Good stuff. Well done to the lad.

[AlmostUseful]

F*cks sake, that's all we need, another bloody architect!

Engineer checking in here, lovely to hear there's someone else to ruin my day at work.

[ClaphamGT3]

Well done - a very tough professional route to travel.

Excellent stuff, if he's willing to travel to Cumbria I've got the perfect "foreigner" for him!

Well done him!

I bet that being an architect helps you pick up girls too

I remember telling my dad that I'd got into my first choice university and course and he just said "so?"

[crofty1984]

Well done him!

Great to hear. My daughter is just coming to the end of the first year doing her part 1. Lots of theoretical projects and studies.

Must be the best feeling in the world for him to see his first real build.

Just goes to show that the youth of today are actually not as bad as the press would have you believe.

Well done and congratulations OP.

[anonymous-user]

Good on him!

[f1nn]

Good luck to him...the vast majority of my job is advising architects on particular elements of the building envelope.

Some are very good, some are genuinely shocking.

Excellent!
