Week 2 - the floor

Wahoo! Feeling a lot better about this week, I feel I am settling into my management role, but once again still feel like I'm not doing all of a great job. I guess I'm just uncertain how people are perceiving my managing, I don't want to be like a dictator but at the same time I don't want people to think I have no clue what's going on.
Floor Sample
This week our main task was to get the floor finished (we almost did, just a little more to do on Tuesday!) as it takes up most of the space in paint shop. The annoying thing about the floor was that it was too large to put down as one piece so we i had to do it in four sections. Doing the floor in four sections meant we had to fade the colour out gradually so that when we put the floor together it all came together as one. I mainly let Rose and Jude take charge of the floor as Rose had done the samples, and Jude was all ready confident at using the spray gun after using it a lot on her personal project. Gillian was great and picked up the knack of using the gun quickly, she was also extremely enthusiastic which was great. Rosie also did a great a job and Lee was much more confident at using the gun by the end of the week.







The floor was pretty hard to paint at the beginning, I was convinced there were 4 colours used in the model piece but Gary assured me there was only 3 (blue, light blue and pink) and that the blue and the pink optically mixed together to create the purple colour.
