"T thought that I wasn't going to get everything done. There were some drawings that I just sat and stared at for a while that I really didn't know what to do with, and even- tually, I figured them out, and that was the hardest thing to do," Andrews said on Monday. He said at one point he felt that he was stumped but remembered that his teacher, Norbert Axtmann had told him that if he felt that way, there was a good chance other competitors were feeling the same way and not to worry about it. "That worked for me. I thought about it and calmed down." At the Ontario compe- tition, Andrews, and 23 of the best Architectural CADD students in the province, had six hours to modify the floor plan of a house to create a main floor bedroom with a bath- room for a handicapped person and add a new fam- ily room. . The final design and drawing presentation in- cluded a main floor plan, a cross section and wheel chair ramp in detail work- ing drawing format, and a rear elevation and interior elevation in presentation drawing format.
