The Lug Nuts: Episode 3
Greetings Fellow Bloggers!
I apologize in advance for the shorter blog post.
A memorable moment from this week was starting to decorate the interior of the Lug Nut Mobile. Me and Andrew ventured out to Jo-Ann's fabrics where we waited for a sweet, old woman by the name of Roberta to cut our beautiful tapestry. Once we had our materials, we stapled them to the ceiling of the vehicle and I've got to say, our work looks rather cash.
This week, I learned how to repair a car door. The driver-side door of the Lug Nut Mobile was slightly damaged from years of dealing with Ronnie's brute force. This made it so that the door had to be shut with brawn rather than grace. We bought some replacements for the nuts on the hinges of the door and replaced them. It was a difficult job, requiring me and Andrew to use our strength to hold the door at the correct angle so that Nate could screw in the bolts and washers. This was quite a physically taxing job, but finishing the task made me feel really proud of us as a whole. Shoutout Victorico's for getting us through this ordeal.
I feel like we've definitely been doing well with our first goal (learning about automobile maintenence and repairs). Fixing the door is a really good symbolization of how far we've come with regards to this goal. I also believe that we've done well with learning how to sell cars (our second goal). We've had several people come look at the 2008 Honda Odyssey Touring Edition, and I think we have another person coming this Thursday to potentially buy the 2008 Honda Odyssey Touring Edition. As for our third goal (applying teamwork to real-life situations), I think we have done a really good job at maintaining solid collaboration. Everyone comes fully prepared to put in a full day's worth of hard work, and that'll really stand out once you all see the final product.
I'm gonna leave you with one question: Do you guys like bees?
Jake, this sounds like satisfying work with friends, and lots of new skill-building! I'd love to see a photo of the new upholstery you stapled into the roof! Wendy
