Wed – Day 3
When we arrived in Grabouw Wednesday I wasn’t sure which area I wanted to be part of, since the group for the stairs was already overcrowded and the boys in the plaster department had nothing left to plaster, I felt pretty much stranded. Till me and Tebz were recruited as the first paint crew!!! So began the fun of putting up a bunch of masking tape and slapping some paint on the fireplace-Hermie was so excited about adding some colour to the wall that she gave us more tubs of paint and told us to complete the wall beside it in quirky stripes* Which was fun starting on a new project and doing something that didn’t really require you to do some major brain work!!! At the end of the day we had managed to gain a little crew and everybody seemed to be taken by the uplifting colour-which to be honest I was a bit cynical about, (applying different colours to the wall) till I stepped back and found that it gave the feeling of being in a school-all bright and beautiful! It wasn’t all sunshine though-since I didn’t do the basics and sand the wall first, once the tape was removed little flakes of paint came down with it-but a lesson was learnt and we optimistically moved on! We completed half the wall and the next half was left for the next day…
