OK, construction has begun, one wall is completed and half painted. The rest will be completed on Saturday, that’s when Louie can next come round and work like a dog, only payment being as many cups of tea he can drink.

I kinda expected everything to be done super fast the same day (But carpentry is an art form and takes time!) people have their own lives, as much as I would like the world to revolve around me, it doesn’t.

As for the Oxymoron title to this post; I should have expected delays, but assumed otherwise.  This is stupid and I’m truly am a moron.

Phase 1.7 – Method Preparation

All my wood is here, we’ve started construction! bad news is we may not be able to do it all in one day.

Things to do:
Build my walls.
Make decals / price lists for walls and display stand.
Get ready for a test run.
Book some space in a Shopping Centre.

Before you watch the video below, this is the first time I’ve ever spoken into a camera and it was cold.

And it’s true what they say, you hate the sound of your own voice.

I hope I get better at these, I tend to talk with my hands, but I’m holding the camera so I end up moving around as if I was a body popping robot.

I’m awaiting on quite a few things to arrive, I hate it when I run into roadblocks like this, there isn’t much more I can do until my backdrop is in front of me so I can do a test run.

My walls are nearly sorted, I’ve decided to go for 6x MDF 12-15mm panels @ 1.5×1.8M, pushing them next to each other to create 3mx3m box with one side open. Quite a handy setup, some shopping centres only allow certain space size so I can remove one section from each side to bring the size down.

However, to walk into a normal store and buy or get wood cut to 1.5×1.8 is very hard it seems! I am awaiting on a few quotes back from timber yards and such.

Other Stuff:

I’ve been playing a lot more sports recently, kinda tied into my new years resolution to give up/cut back on video games. It’s very refreshing to wake up and go to the local sports centre and play badminton then squash followed by a nice meal.

Though, I’d rather be in a shopping centre taking photographs.
