Firstly are employer let everyone on are floor, know that we would be starting by removing flooring on this level as we were told by Clive, that the manager of the building, told us we could start working, and so we did.

So then we started removing carpet essentially, as this would help us on sanding and also painting, with this, we went along with removing flooring and pilling up the pieces of carpet on dollies in the manner that if it were to injure us with such access amount of weight added to are body alone, if carried all the way to the skip.

Secondly I asked around vestry hall asking if it was ok to strip the walls down of paint encase of any type of illnesses including any type of related lung disease as the work we would be doing could potentially cause harm to residents working inside of vestry hall.

After doing so by getting clarification from residents, my team decided to sand down and sweep up the dust as it were to be a burden if the dust got onto the walls, additionally, we then primed the walls with preparatory coating to ensure the paint durability provides protection for the material I would be painting on.

By taking all factors into account, I continued priming the walls in the corridor, after completion of the walls being primed, I then took a break to let the paint dry, by eating some food, and after 1hr & a half I then put the second coat on as it were dry, and within doing so, I also started to cut in above the skirting board, as it were to not be painted on because it were the right colour.

Within all things considered my employer then taught me how to paint skirting boards, as I were to paint from the door to the second floor and then furthermore all in which i done it were a hard challenge but an experience in which i will never forget to say the least, because I were to sand and hoover up any unnecessary dust for in which could ruin my work.

And within light of this information, i then primed the walls after the fact that all dust were gone, and after measures of waiting for such substances to dry, myself went along with putting another additional coat to stay in a safe zone of the paint looking defined, and after the fact in which i had mastered, i then sat along to accomplishing all skirting boards with coating them in gloss for the work were done perfectly

When i finished the issue in which all skirting boards were not glossed, i double checked encase of mistake in my work, and with these precautions i decided to gloss upstairs skirting boards, only within the lift and the opening doors of the corridor as i were instructed to by my employer, once finishing such work, i ensured to put flyers up outside of the corridor, and on the downstairs doors as the paint were still wet.

Ontop of all of that, I had to paint around an elevator which were chunky as a block of ice, and when I got told this i was like, "wow this is gonna be difficult for sure", but neatherless i still went along with painting in these tuff circumstances, as in any moment someone could come out of the elevator and not know i were painting and it could cause an accident, as us as painters during this time were not aloud to the use that elevator, as are employer said it were not aloud, and as we were working are employer let be known that, we were painting and others were fine in which going past us to get to there workplace.

However after completing such a task, I was let home, and once I had come back the next day, my employer told us that the walls on the 2nd floor where we recently painted the walls around the elevator and above, so with this information he said to us that we had to strip the doors of paint and recolour them in some type of maroon, and so I did, this task took about 4 hours as after this, we had more to do, and within these 4hrs we learnt to cut in within doors, to not scratch the glass with some techniques as it were to damage and ruin the glass, and so in which we never scratched a single glass window within these doors.

In conclusion this was an experience I enjoyed so much as I learned so much from which I had prior to knowing some techniques, and the way you have to think and beware of others and to move such equipment and mess if made everyday, within some teamwork also it was lovely to work within others to learn communication skills. awareness and trust within one another, I admire the teaching I got from Clive as without his expertise none of the work in which we done perfectly, would of been possible.
