Worth my Day-off

How do you spend your day-off?

Day-off is a day's vacation from work or school on what would normally be a working day.

Well for me; sometimes i usually stay in bed and sleep, but today i am going to do some minor rectification here in our house since I've been staying in the property where i worked with, l am rarely coming to were we live here in the city. We are renting an apartment, I my sister and his husband. One day I got back in our house and notice that some of vinyl in the flooring was not fixed already. So I schedule it to be fix by myself.

Operation Fixing of Vinyl Flooring!💪💪💪

As of this writing I am rectifying our vinyl. I start at 8 o'clock after I had some coffee. Then later I start doing my scheduled of work;

Since we don't have proper tools, i only use the available that I have. I only use flat screw for removing and cleaning the whole surface of the vinyl and the area where i removed it.

1. First thing I removed all the vinyl that are not fixed on flooring. Since we dont have vinyl to be used as replacement so I intended to used it again.

1. I clean the area where i remove the vinyl, remove dirt, old adhesive and paint that being used before to attached it on flooring.

1. I also clean the back of the vinyl which the dirt and existing paste are glued and which has no use already. This is to make sure that the surface will be free of dirt so that that paste that i am going to apply will be glued properly.

1. After cleaning it i let it dry outside since it moisten while being attached to the floor 15 to 20 minutes. I also put electric fan to let the floor dry in where the vinyl was removed.

One thing that i notice doing the rectification was the wrong use of materials. The use of paint to attached vinyl is not correct. Paint are not used as a paste, i concluded that it is the reason why the surface moisten. The second one that i notice is, they only apply paste on the small area. They do not apply adhesive on the whole surface of the vinyl.

Lack of budget always sacrifice the quality of materials that are use in some ways.

1. The next step is to apply adhesive, I am using "Stikwel" its use as vinyl adhesive. Apply stikwel and spread to the whole surface at the back of vinyl that we are going to attached at the floor. I make sure that the adhesive is properly distributed to surface.

1. Since the area is dry and clean, I attached the vinyl with adhesive. Once I attached the vinyl with stikwell it is very hard to move it so I make sure that it is properly oriented already upon attaching. After i attached it on the floor i am rubbing it with my hand to make sure that it well be properly glued. You can place heavy thing on top so that it will not rise up.

I am giving time to fix those work that need maintenance to avoid any extended damages that result also to any untoward incident. These kind of activity is part of the maintenance program in a house.

These is the accomplish i had in my day-off:

13 pieces of 300mm x 300mm floor vinyl

1 piece of 30mm x 200mm floor vinyle

1 piece small piece vinyl as siroho.

And that's it guys, all that left for me is to clean since doing this cause a lot of dirt in the whole area. I finished attaching vinyl flooring at 1:30 in the afternoon, no lunch break. That is the worth of my day-off today.

Having an experience in a construction helps me a lot, as a maintenance supervisor all i need is a little observation, and if I have a question i never hesitated to asked someone who have skilled and knowledge in their field of work. So here it is, this is my first time doing it..

Experience is really good at teaching. All you need is the courage to apply what you have learned. Don't worry about failure and what if's; what if i do it wrong or i dont know, just put your best and enjoy. Later you'll be happy about your accomplishment, and you will think of the next time, you will do it perfectly.

So how about you guys, how do you use your day-off and free time.

Hope you enjoy and you learn something while reading my article.

Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏
