My class mates and I have firstly started to empty all of our rooms. We have labeled all the items of each class (chairs, tables and shelves) and them put them away in our storage room. Since our rooms were cleared, we started sanding down old paint from the walls in order to re paint the walls, yet we couldn't sand them all as there were the interactive white boards still attached to the walls where as will be removed tomorrow by the handymen.
Since our rooms were sanded fast as we had tools in order to fasten the process, I have later mixed Multi Purpose Poly-filler Powder and plastered the walls where needed.
Removals of interactive white board have happened early in the morning on day 2 so we have sanded the remaining wall faces and repeated the plastering process. Since our other walls have dried over-night, some of my classmates and with the help of handymen (who were hired by our institute) have sanded the remaining Poly-filler from the walls and started to paint the white walls which were done by the end of the day, however since we had two walls left we repeated the process so that our walls all have a base coat.
Since our rooms were 'ready' from painting, we started the feature walls, where I was in charge to start and finish the striped wall. With the help of Chiara and Adam (masking the wall), together with a couple of other students who finished it's painting this wall was done by the end of the day. Although it was not an easy job to do, I have enjoyed every second of it and very satisfied with the
final result.
Whilst our rooms were ready, my classmates have been cleaning the floors while other have been preparing the materials to be cut into curtains. During this time, myself together with Anthony we have been in the wood workshop cutting wood in order to be attached with the curtains, these pieces of wood will be utilized as frames in order to attach them to the wall. However, these wood strips were sanded after cut so that we could have a smooth, clean finish.
Since our rooms were soon finalized; Ryan, Andre' and myself have been trying to set carpets in our rooms, but they seems to be longer than we wanted so their fit wasn't very well. However, some other students have asked whom have lent them to us in order to cut them up so we can have shorter pieces that will fit our rooms. Since they were cut, some of my classmates have combined the pieces together, after that process myself with the help of other students we have vacuumed and then ironed the carpets for a clean finish.
As our rooms were almost finalized, I have helped with; placing the podiums in different rooms and also with Patrick we have helped the electrician in order to install our lights that we wanted in our corridors.
We also had to put up way findings, where I have attached vinyls to wood boards that will be hanged out-side following with attaching others in the corridors. However, things can happen and the wall attached vinyls were not liked by every-one and had various opinions due to lack of spacing. Yet, seems that the problem was later solved as I could not stay longer at school due to an appointment.
