Well, just recovering from a torturous 2 days working for crip. The job as I understod it was s light sopt of painting, and parhaps having to sweep the floor. It turned out to be a mamouth job which we only got done in two days by the skin of our teeth! Crip was an expert at changing the guide lines – ‘just paint that gloss, just cement that hole, just grind those charp edges of, just move that pile of rubbish to the tip’ – and the list go’s on!!! WE got there all ready to paint to find that the floor hadn’t been cleaned. It was coated in years of gunk. Did i mention that the wearhouse was huge? Enormous!!! A never ending expanse of dirty floor with crip gibbering about scrapping by hand and de-oiling. We had a floor scrubber which was the hardest thing to keep unedr control, and i got back and hand ache from it!!! Hand puffed a little bu not too much. Afdter having gone over the whole floor with this scrubber it was covered in filthy water and we began the long task of brushing it out (the main door, like crip instructed). Crip then turns up with this blaster thig he had forgotten stanland had which strupped the floor clean in seconds!!!! It also pushed most of the water out! So we got to work with the blaster after a quick moan about the disorganisation ( Crip and dean the store manager where constantly blaming each other for the absence of painbrushed or brooms!) I was worried about how to get the water of the floor, but crip turned up with these large wiondow scrapper type things which cleaned the floor brilliantly – he procedef to charge across the floor with one crowing about how great it was, and thenbreak it in the first minute, he then left us to it!!!After the floor it was plain sailing and we had the job done in two days. There was one small incident where i did something to the door, and it wouldn’t close so i cut a wire to close it – dean tells me it needed a service anyway!!! Crip did mention a second coat, but seems to be happy with the one so far.
