What seemed intially like a fairly easily do-able paint job quickly turned into a hard, time-consuming test of patience. My group thought we had been put in charge of one the easier jobs (painting grill meshes that were there instead of windows) before we quickly realised it was definetly the hardest. We had to paint these horrible thin steel cylindrical objects (inside and the outside) a task made worse by the several cob webs and spider eggs that were etched into every nook and cranny of the mesh network. It was impossbile to just splash paint faster (like when painting a wall) since you would miss the side of the grill and your arms would just get tired having to search for missed spots.
On the first day I was rather sick of all the unwashable paint on my hands and feet and after a day of hard physcial work of the sort that I cannot remember ever expereincing I simply collapsed when we reached the hotel. On the second day, it was a pleasant experience to find that after the previous day of painting where I had tried several methods of doing it, I was much quicker today and able to get more work done. I would have never believed painting to be such a painstaking affair before this experience!
