    The story of an apprenticeship (or two)

    DANIEL'S BLOG - SEPTEMBER 2007

    3-7 SEPTEMBER

    I was mainly patching this week, filling and sanding. Not too happy coz I ain’t learning much doing this!!

    11-14 SEPTEMBER

    Started college again this week and became a 2nd year apprentice – scary! Undercoated an Edjma window which was made for Wallington New Houses. On Friday me and Ashley started to make our own Edjma window which was good.

    17-21 SEPTEMBER

    Measured up at West Shield, Wallington Estate, patching and filling. On Wednesday I replaced some rotten timbers and started to replace the facia boards on a shed, one of the better jobs I’ve had in a while. Glazed a window, footed the ladder for Davey (Building Assistant) and collected some timber on Friday.

    24-28 SEPTEMBER

    This week I finished my Edjma window which is something I enjoyed. I made a canny job of it. I replaced a pane of glass at Rothley West Shield, Wallington Estate, new plinth etc.

    On the Friday I went on holiday to the Dominican Republic, C’mon!
