Today we carried on pulling the cable as yesterday we did not manage to finish.Most of the work was done yesterday and the only thing that was left was clenaining of the work area,covering the trench that was digged and removing the barricades and cleaning of tools.

From most of our core modules at the last chapters talked much about cleaning the work area after the task is done.,it talked about recyling of usable materials,disposal of waste material and do not burn chemical substances as they might be dangerous and harmful to both living things and nonliving things also including the environment as part.This proves that indeed it is important to clean the work area and this shows responsibility of a person doing the task.

Today was what i call 'a busy day' as our task for the day was to pull and install a network cable from piccinini to academy's offices.

This may sound easy but believe me it isn't.Firstly, we started by counting how many meters is required(by rolling th cable), then we tried to pull it throw the network cable pipe that was under ground but the cable could move(was blocked).We then discovered that the pipe along the way was filled with water and some particles of soil causing the cable from passing thru it and for that, a smaller pipe was used to unblock it.Now this bring us back to the fundamental modules we have already done such as maintaining lighting systems and designing electric wire way that a proper planning is required before commencing with any task.What i learned from this modules is that it is not necessary to only plan on the execution of the task but also after the task is been completed for example if a problem occurs after what installing an appliance,how and what should be done thereon,what i am going to need and also to leave a room for unplanned incidents.

However, as we continued to push the cable in,we came across a number of obstacles were one of them was that the cable could not move due to the curving sharply of the network pipe causing the cable not to move.

Furthermore,a trench was digged around the curving area,so that we can cut it and pull the cable from the inside and join the other pieces/half till the head of the cable appears at the end of the network pipe.

Today was the usual routine(do maintenance around the farm) .
We(group 2) checked/ inspected for faults around the farm,front office and guesthouse area but no faults were discovered.

All our tasks have been completed and we have no other tasks,therefore, we went to the computer room and up-dated our blogs.As an electrician,one must learn to work safely and neatly against time as time is money.

Its free for friday!!

Today i decided to continue on with the business plan from home and do the operational plan.It was'nt as easy as I imagined because it gave me a little bit of problems.

In the mornings, I started doing free writing on the ideas i had about the operation of it,thereafter tried to arrange the data by editing the existing one we had so that dicky(a member of our company)can send it to Mr Diederick.

Later on,I did a little of research around town finding out what and how our competitors distribute their services and products.

Classroom day!!.

Today was a weird day because we used to have classes in the morning,now we have them during the day(after lunch).The reason for this was that in most cases, after lunch there isn't much to do as most of the work has already been done.

We started a new module today-U/S ID:9010 &9013:Measure,Estimate and Calculate Physical Quantities and this module is about measuring and calculating the sizes of different diagrams and distinguishing the difference between the different dimensons.

We have started and completed the first Chapter and by understanding it, i got the idea by skim that it covered most of the work that still needs to be done on other coming chapters.

Today i decided not to come to work and re-visit Modimolle as our trip on friday to Modimolle was'nt a successful.The idea was to go to Modimolle in the morning and do anything thats needs to be done and come back to work at lunch time but because we did not no was the process was,it resulted taking longer than expected as there were assessments to be carried out befero we could do anything.
