life lately..

i've been busy recently doing a project with other true fellow skateboarders. our project is to make a concrete ledge with limited materials and time. basically, we expected to finish the project in one day, but problems do occur anytime, anywhere and any how.

this is what we've got so far, all in a days work.

first, we expected the site to have some leftovers sand because a few years ago, there was. now, its an ant hill. it was useless. even if we try, it would take time to make it into fine grains.

second, we didn't have the skills to work on the project at a steady rate. luckily there was one or two representative who knew how cement mixing and other processes works. from there, we learned to do what was needed to do. the learning curve took a lot of time as all of us were trying to be very careful because it is cement and we only get one shot.

bricks are immersed in water so that the cement-sand mix can have better attachment plus removing air pockets in cracks that could jeopardize on the overall structure itself.

tomorrow (Sunday) is gonna be another day of construction work and i am suppose to sleep to get in top shape for the project. i really hate the word 'hope' but for now, i'll make an exception, i HOPE we can get everything done by tomorrow, we MUST! there are:

• finish off layering bricks (inner + 4th layer)
  
• fill (broken bricks + dirt + stones)
• set angle irons
• plastering

i mustn't underestimate how short the list is, but it's definitely gonna take a few men hours to work on. i really wanna get this project over with as soon as posiible because i got other things lined up to do, like making money online LOL
