My main job in a building group was plastering. I plastered whole walls of this house.
And then thesedays I'm rubbing whole walls with sand paper. There are two sand paper machines. But those are too heavy to use. I couldn't hold those machine for over three miniutes. Therefore I should do my task with my hands.
Anyway, I got different jobs today.
At first, I painted the wall of a bathroom. I learned how to paint today. It was harder than I expected. It needed more power.
And then, I scrubbed some stuff off the door of a bathroom with sand paper and plastered the door. It was the easiest job today.
After lunch, I carried something like wool from outside. We are working second floor. I was going up and down upstairs about 54 times!! I was tired to death.
These jobs were very basic and simple but somebody had to do. Mostly basic things are necessary, so important like washing dishes, cleaning... Frankly, before I came here, I worried. ´In a building group? What can I do? I don't have any experience, I might be useless...' Now, they need hands. I'm willing to do these job!
I'm the only woman in a building group. I meet many men all day. At the first time, some of them looked blunt. They don't talk much but I feel their care, consideration. I met an artist, who was from Holland. He works in a building group for two days, teaches people how to draw for two days and he paints by himself for one day. He is absolutly blunt. But after talking with me, he always send me a smile(not talking!). He invited me to his atelier and showed his paintings. His color was very strong. I reminded Fauvism. His portrait looked like Van Gogh's.(Because he was from Holland?)
After working, J** told me he would make a bike for me tomorrow. He is a specialist making a bike.
I was very happy and heartwarming... To make a relationship, we need time... I've been here for almost four weeks. I feel friendly toward people.
