Payday :D

Just gotten my pro-rated pay for this month. Nothing to describe how good it is to get half a month pay that is equivalent to a month pay when working part-time during school terms.

This week is research week, the topic is grouting. For people who do not know what is grouting, it is basically a construction material to embed in wall and fill the cracks. It may sound simple but it is not. The PDF file that I had referred to is ninety-one pages long article. The following is the cover page of this article and its origin;


The origin of this article is just amazing, USA (Department of Defence).

The main content of this article highlights three areas; which is the types of grout, grouting method, and grouting equipment. I had briefly read through the types of grout and grouting method as it is required for me to have some background knowledge before i head down to meet the contractors.

At site, the waterproofing specialist took some photos of the affected areas and briefly informed me of the method of solving this issue. Since i had some knowledge beforehand, i am able to ask why they are using certain grout (e.g. Polyurenthane) instead of another (e.g. Epoxy). From their explanation i am able to understand better and also aware of the nature of different grout to be used in different situation.

Overall, i am satisfy with my performance for this week and hopefully Mr Chan is glad with my performance too :D Hope to do better than the "B" i had gotten last week...
