My senior project is remodeling a vacation cabin out in the Innsbrook resort area. It is a small cabin that can hold about 8-10 people. The cabin is on the edge of one of many lakes in Innsbroook.
For the most part so far, I have been either cleaning loose scraps from any other work that was previously done before I even got there or I have been carrying large amounts of wood planks into the cabin.
This week was not so much one whole week. I only got to work for two days, Monday and Tuesday because on Wednesday the cabin owners came by and Thursday I had a doctors appointment.
In terms of what hours do I work out at the cabin, I have to get up at 5:00 am where I drive to a nearby house of a co-worker to get picked up by 6:00 am. It takes an hour to get to the cabin. From then we work until about 12:00 or 12:30 when lunch is. We eat frozen lunches. After our brief lunch of 15 min, we get back to work. 2:30 pm is the time we end the day.
Here are some of the things we have been working on in my first week:
– Laying new tile in the bathrooms
– changing light bulbs in the kitchen
– installing a heated flooring pad underneath the tile
– Installing new fans in the bathrooms
Overall, I am really looking forward to what is to come of the remodeling. I am excited to what it looks like when completed.
Wow Manning, that seems like a pretty intense work day. I bet you’re pretty exhausted when you get home. Have you gotten to learn about the design and customer relations side of things? Or is it more about learning how to physically install?
