9/6/2024 – Still working on the jogging area. At least I have finished the event banner that looked complicated. I have a few faces left probably 9-12 faces to finish. I couldn’t do it because I have yet to purchase red paint which had gone missing. All the stuff organised, I just gotta pull up my weight and consistently completing things bit by bit. Thanks to my friend for lending me her scaffolds. I have yet to label so that it won’t go missing in the storeroom. When I got the red paint, I would be able to finish within full 3 hours to finalise that section.
Just a recap of things to do:
- Buy red paint
- Finish facial features
- Touchup the area
- Bring masking tape and label the scaffolds and my stuffs
30/4/2024 – So I finally took action! So relieved my worst imagination did not happen. Next time I start to think of catastrophic scenarios, I must be aware that it’s all in my head. Keyword – what is the worst that could happen?
Anyways what I did yesterday:
- I packed all my paints and brought home – paints missing, and I gotta get the bright red one
- Did the background for backdrop in jogging group photo area
- Update myself on what sources I have and what I can use from site – a lot of the guys I knew worked there either were already retired or transferred to other places.
- I found that if I set my phone to airplane mode, my work will finish quicker
Next to do:
- Finish the jogging spot – the backdrop could have been done in 1 or 2 more days
- Clean the paints and organise my bags for painting work
- Wait for my shoes and work pants to arrive
- Expect extra costs for fuel
- Set my schedule – for now I could see myself painting there on Mondays and Saturdays, Sundays (early morning)
- Arrange scaffolds for painting
I am so determined to get it done within this year.
28/4/2024 – I have this pending job which started in 2020 and have not completely done yet till today. It’s at 80% but I have so much obstacles to get it done. Though if I put a bit of focus I might be able to get it done within 3 months top.
My obstacles are:
- Last time it was my car problem. Now it’s mostly fixed
- No stairs to reach higher spot – I can do the bottom one and get some stairs before I start at the last 3 spots
- Clutters of my workspace
- Lack of consistency
- Costs for fuel
I gotta come up with a system on how to get things started again and keep moving. My steps to help me with readjusting:
Buy suitable shoes and pants for paintingWait for them to arrive- Bring only necessary tools to site
- Plan ahead what I want to do, what to paint
- Get a basket to carry back all the paints
- Get small basket to bring necessary stuff to site
- Before departing – get ready with water, colour mixes brush cloth etc so that I will not waste time preparing
- Get scaffolding from Finie
I have to visit the site tomorrow, like it or not. Hopefully nothing too surprising would happen. May Allah ease.
