Days of our lives

Aaah the beginning of another week... yesterday I had to find copies of plans of a building that had plans since the 1960s! The lady at the Kraaifontein council counter started by giving me a whole pile of folders with that erf number. I who didn't know what I was looking for only had the Erf number, area name and street name. I got so confused with all the plans that felt like it would disintegrate in my hands! After about lets say the whole morning of looking in their storerooms, I finally figured out that its the same building that has just been altered throughout the years. I finally got the latest plans of 2005 and walked out of their with a copy that was made to me for free :) I guess after all it was all worth it.
