Working on a scaffold at Caltex for Retail Dimension

Today I got up at 6:20 and caught the bus at 7:05. Smiley When I arrived at work Carl wasn’t there yet, so I decided to get a coffee. Smiley When I came back Carl was there and we drove to the gas-station “Caltex-Albany” with another man. Smiley We had to stick the new panels all around the gas-station because they switched there design from red to orange green. Smiley

So we had to measure, cut, glue, lift and carry the panels. Smiley I stood on the scaffold with Carl and sticked the panels to the wall. We had to work exactly and carefully. Smiley

After lunch the work got really hard, because some wind had been risen and the panels almost flew away. So it got really hard to lift, turn and get them properly on the scaffold. :/ We were a good team and handled everything very well. See the results Smiley mit herausgestreckter Zunge

The other man who used to work with us was from Fiji and I had really good and funny conversations with him. Smiley He told me a lot about Fiji and invited me to his daughters house. When I will be in Suva I will catch up with her maybe. I will see. He gave me a lift to my caravan park and I was really exhausted. 9 and a half hours standing on a scaffod in 4-5 meters is not as easy as it looks like. Smiley mit herausgestreckter Zunge
