The reality of having an apprentice!
It's been 9 weeks and even though Laura has been on some brilliant courses with Dulux AcademyIt's still very daunting and I've chucked her on a ceiling just to see how she does.. It's been all hands on prep with minimal brush & roller work so far but here you go.. The real work behind all the fun we do have on the job..
It's slow progress but what else can it be.. 10,000 hrs to mastery so they say, That's 5 years.. barley a novice in trade terms..
We are not even at 100 hrs yet... but we, she will get there..
Honestly I have to give the biggest shout out to Matt from the academy who gave Laura her first lessons..
I constantly think of how you taught Laura, The patience you have, your playful way with words and encouragement..
I'm channelling that SOOOOO HARD on the daily
(Disclaimer.. This was not a clean lined ceiling, a mist-coat after digging out and sanding if you like.. so trolls save your breath we are doing it weather you like it or not!)
