skoolie: man meets glue

Demo Day 5

Written by Cheryl

Today, I brought Bruce water. And gave him a thumbs up. And a pat on the back. Then I got out of his way.

Have you ever had one of the days when you thought you were better than you actually are? The universe says, “Nope. You’re not really good at this at all.” 

That was today.

I attacked the rubber floor.  I lost.  

It kicked my butt.

Four hours of hot, grueling hard labor. Half the floor is up.

Why is it so hard?

In 2006, they must have used really good glue. Like, you could hold the Golden Gate Bridge together with this stuff.  Why couldn’t they have used school glue? The stuff in those cute little pots that I used to eat when I was a kid. But no. This glue managed to adhere so tightly that I was pulling up pieces of the underlying board. The result is a splintered mess.

I’m going to finish this.  Mostly because I don’t have a choice now.

Then, I’m going to lay down a thin layer of plywood over the entire bottom of the bus. 

At least it wasn’t over 100 degrees today.
