I went to work in the morning after getting a workout at the gym. It seems to be getting a more and more difficult to get into the gym when I get swamped with my projects.
Im clocking into this rental at 5 pm. I’ve wasted about 40 minutes in between looking for a hose at my parents house and forgetting a piece of wood I was supposed to take with me to Home Depot so they could get me a color match. Nevertheless, I turned around to grab it.
Todays goals
- Buy a gallon of Lanco Coolgard to seal the outside cracks on the exterior wood coverings of the house. Also buy exterior paint
- Seal the exterior wood cracks in the backyard. Ideally paint, but I need the sealant coat to dry first so it’s okay if I don’t get to this today. Will paint exterior tomorrow.
- Finish adding final coats to 3 living room walls.
In also working on a YouTube channel that I’m trying to scale. It’s based on all my Amazon products. My goal is to upload 5 videos a day on that, but I’ve missed the passed few days.
So I’ll add 5 YouTube videos to that when I get home. I’ll finish this post tonight with everything I’ve accomplished today.
My day overall
Welp, today was a bust in terms of the rental property. By the time I arrived it was too dark to work. I have all the materials here, but I noticed that I’m going to have to caulk a lot of the outside before I start adding the sealant and paint. As far as painting the house on the inside, well the lighting sucks.. which is not really a good excuse to not work, but I’m trying to mix all the white paints I have together to make sure I get the right shade every time.
So tomorrow I’ll have to try and find a way to get out to the property earlier, as well as buy the necessary supplies early.
I need: gloves and big bucket to mix the paint in.
Goal: to start working right away so the nightfall doesn’t take me out. Once nightfall hits, I’ll transition to painting the inside of the house.
Wednesday in off work so I’ll have a lot of daylight to help me knock a lot of things out.
Time worked on house today: 3.5 hours
Total time worked in house: 23.5 hours
Todays overall accomplishments
- I filled out my internship quarterly review and sent it to my direct supervisors to sign. It is do on the 30th (in 2 days).
- I bought some black light switch plate covers. I plan on swapping them to black just to make the house pop a little bit.
- I bought the sealant and paint for the house
- I uploaded 6 videos to the YouTube channel, 1 more than what I had planned.
And that’s pretty much it. I wish I could’ve got more done but that’s how I feel about most days that pass.
Tomorrows goals are:
- Caulk the exterior of the house (will add cool guard the following day in the morning and paint in the afternoon.
- Mix all the white paint in a bucket and finish painting living room walls.
- Talk to internship supervisors to see if they can sign my documents and submit to the state.
- Upload 5 YouTube videos to the project channel. Which is the one with the Amazon products right now.
