This past summer I faced a very challenging project during the remodeling process of a Deli-Grocery located at the Bronx (New York). I needed to build a small office room from scratch in a basement in a limited time. The office was going to be used by the owner of such business. As one can imagine, I had a lot of tension built up inside me. I knew that I needed to perform at my best; being as careful as possible and paying attention to details. This is because of the responsibilities that I had in addition to the pressure of having my father looking into my progress at the end of each day.
It took me exactly 6 days to build my first office! The process I went through is as follows
- Built the structure [1st day]
- Installed the drywall sheets [2nd day]
- Completed the finish touches of the drywall (sanding, etc) [3rd-4th day]
- Painted the room [5th day]
- Installed a carpet [6th day]
After the competition and approval from my dad, we contacted a licensed electrician so that he could install all the necessary outlets. My father was very content with the outcome and as a result he increased my salary. I could honestly say that this has been one of my biggest achievement throughout my whole life. It is to be acknowledged that I am very content with the competition of this project.
