Construction Time

Building things is cool! I'd never worked on a construction site before but I managed to blag on into a nutty job out here. I only had it for a week and it was hard graft but really rather rewarding. Cash in hand is a tonic out her with a bit of lime. If you can get it, you take it. I painted about 300 slats of wood for the outside of an extention for a house and then proudly made cement for the first time. It was some experience I tell thee! Unfortunately, when I informed the foreman that I'd need someone to show me how... he kinda said "I thought you'd worked on building site before... and you know don't know how to make cement". Woops. Caught. Still, I made it to the end of the week with only a few nail marks in my legs, enought splinters in my hands to create my very own
tree and a back that didn't forgive me for the next week afterward. Tomorrow I'm hoping to work for a guy that needs people to mantle and dismantle Marquees. Hopefully this'll give me enough cash to up and shoot off to Sydney in search of warmer weather. All this 38 degree malarky is just not cutting it ;-)
