From log houses to logging hours
Totally true. I've been working on a house with many large timber pieces. And now I am 85% finished with the logging my hours. The last time I submitted was, um, in June 2005? For hours March and before...! I've been bad, yes.Right now, it feels like both sides of my brain are attempting to make a switcheroo. Logging hours makes doing my taxes feel like a breeze.
Council meeting today. Some discussion on how Council monitors itself as well as the ED (Executive Director, Dorothy Barkley). A lengthy and very good discussion on FTA's (foreign trained architects). I also submitted something on the agenda - a request to review of intern architect annual fees. How do they relate to the programs being offered by the AIBC and compare with other provincial associations? It's being tabled to the next meeting, as more facts and information are required before a motion can be .. what's the term ... carried? forwarded? Hm, have to look at those Robert's Rules of Order...
How much does it cost to be an intern? Say the Intern Challenge is done in three years:
CACB degree certification (105.00 + gst) = $111.30
(for those from an accredited Canadian school .. otherwise it's $1050 + gst = $1113.00)
Application fee 35.00 +2.45 gst = $37.45
Annual fee 3 x (178.00 +12.46 gst) = $571.38
6 PD courses 6 x (140.00 +9.80 gst) = $898.80
6 ARE courses multiple choice 6 x $102USD/114.36CAD = $686.16
3 ARE courses graphic exams 3 x $153USD/171.54CAD = $514.62
Oral Review $125 + 7.50 gst = $132.50
TOTAL: $2951.83
This is, of course, if you are on the nose with this. No more than 3 years, no failing and retaking courses, no late fees on your cerbs/logging hours. None of that!
