Project: Manual Pad - NEW TOPPING
On Sunday, March 15, 2009 / By Danialhere's the result of today's repair work.
smooth, ain't it?
it is so much more solid, firm and smooth than the first one which was ruined by the rain. we started from 8.30am to 12.30pm to do the work. took so much time since there was only 2 of us working on it and limited tools. but it was ok since we got so much things done.
the weather was dry and hot through out the morning, thank God~~ it made the plastering so much easier since the layer dries up fast (plus we didn't put a lot of of water in the mix). it did rain at noon but only a little bit, but we already came prepared for the worst case scenario.
i just hope it won't rain heavily tonight or at all and tomorrow would be a hot dry day.
thanks to Mizzy for looking after the pad!

Project: Manual Pad - Set Back
On Sunday, March 15, 2009 / By Danial
MANUAL PAD
is TEMPORARILY
OUT OF SERVICE
unfortunately due to the rain that hit us on the night when the plastering was done, it has damaged and distorted the cement mix. and so, it end up with crusty surfaces like biscuits.
to be more specific, the cement was separated from the sand, cement was floating while the sand sank down hence giving the brittle and fragile surface.
anyways, it is a lesson learned. always put weather as a crucial factor that it either can speed up the drying process or it can completely ruin a days work.
if we leave it the way it is now, its definitely going to be ruined. so we're gonna repair it.
and FYI, me and Nas is doing the repair work, so no worries. i really want this to get over with ASAP coz i wanna study... and sk8 too!
MANUAL PAD
is TEMPORARILY
OUT OF SERVICE
I'm really hoping the weather would be good so the repair work and drying would be ok. if the weather continues to be rainy, i'd give it 2-3days. if the weather is hot, then just 24 hours would do, just like the ledge. -

Project: Manual Pad COMPLETED
On Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / By Danial
tasks completed: 1/1
- plastering
as usual, i didn't take any pictures for the finale haha and that means,
PROJECT MANUAL PAD IS COMPLETE.
THAT'S A WRAP!
although there are little things we need to do like: sweeping the park, remove the excess cement on the ground & scrape off cement on the angle irons. basically just a cleaning campaign.
REMINDER:
DO NOT WAX ANGLE IRONS BEFORE THEY
ARE CLEANED AND GIVEN THE 'MAGIC SPRAY' =P.
hate that i don't post the picture? for today, honestly, i really forgot to take the picture. the real reason why i don't wanna post it because i want YOU guys to go there and see it for yourself and skate it. in the end, we all have fun! make the park alive once again.
kepada orang-orang yang ingin memberi aduan ataupun 'complain' kerana manual pad terlalu rendah atau pun ledge terlalu tinggi, sila sediakan wang kerana sesiapa yang membuat aduan atau pun didapati membuat aduan akan di kenakan bayaran BND $80,000 (lapan-puluh ribu ringgit Brunei).LOL just joking guys haha

Project: Manual Pad - Day 3
On Monday, March 09, 2009 / By Danialtasks completed: 2/3 tasks- put MORE beach sand on site.
- finish filling the pad.
- option - start plastering on the sides of the manual pad.
we started off quite late around 4 because we had to take some sand from 'the beach'. that would definitely be the final trip! so relieved now~~ no more "not enough beach sand". after we got that, then the basic routine starts all over again, MIXING!
the pad is pretty much filled up now. the only thing to do is plastering (smooth out the surface with a mixture of fine sand and cement with some plastering tools).
this is gonna take one more day and the pad will be ready (assuming weather is good to let it dry the next day).
==========================================
CONSTRUCTION DAY 4
tasks: 1 task
- plastering (we still need to mix)
BRING SOME BROOMS
we got some cleaning to do...sigh~~(terpaksa yo)

On Sunday, March 08, 2009 / By Danialnot really ruined laa the pad is A OK. it just rained so we can't do a thing. there were not enough sand and people too. so today sucks big time! the rain just started randomly. the are a few liters of water inside the last filling space.
we need to get the job done before the incomplete pad becomes a swimming pool. so anyways, we'll continue tomorrow afternoon again.
GET AS MUCH BEACH SAND AS POSSIBLE!
============================================

Project: Manual Pad - Day 2
tasks completed: 7/7!On Saturday, March 07, 2009 / By Danial
- put beach sand on site.
- get/buy bricks, wire mesh & cement.
- pick up angle irons from shop to site.
- finish off last brick layer.
- apply wire mesh.
- attach angle irons.
- fill.
well done! and thank you guys, I really didn't expect a lot of people to turn up today but...wow! there were about 10 people! we very much appreciate your help because our backs (yang bekraja dari pukul 3) is crackin'! haha
another hitch same as last time, we did not have enough beach sand. i really thought we took a lot of it already but it wasn't enough to cover everything yet (so far 2/3 of the pad has been filled).
anyways, only a little bit of work left. finish off the fill and then plastering. the first part is the easy one actually. all we need is more beach sand then mix mix mix with cement and it is done.
BRINGING THE PARK BACK TO LIFE!

for plastering, we need a different tool for that.
if you guys have the above tools, bring it along to the site for the next construction day which is tomorrow lol but no need to stress out. let's just get some sand, go to site around 4.30 or 5. get the pad filled. just chill while doing the work and then sk8! Maybe if we have a lot of time then we can start plastering the sides.

Project: Manual Pad - Day 1
On Friday, March 06, 2009 / By Danial
tasks completed : 3/4
- get angle irons to the warehouse for welding works.
- get/buy some bricks and fine sand.
- put beach sand on site.
- do the first layer of bricks.
===================================================
CONSTRUCTION DAY 2
tasks: 7 tasks
- put beach sand on site - very crucial. (kim/bobby)
- get/buy bricks, wire mesh & cement. (Dan)
- pick up angle irons from shop to site (depends on car size)
- finish off last brick layer.
- apply wire mesh.
- attach angle irons.
- fill
there are 7 tasks and the first three is the important ones because those are the materials we need for tomorrow. we'll need to work as a team on most of the other tasks after that.
let me tell you that the most agonizing work for tomorrow would be or will be is concrete mixing. its definitely gonna hurt our backs! lol and this is only for filling.
if there are a number of people on site, we can switch roles or divide ourselves into groups. one group is for mixing (getting the mixture ready) and another for doing work on the pad itself. easy? we'll see how it goes. -

Project: Manual Pad - Day 1 Targets
On Thursday, March 05, 2009 / By Danial
yes, we are going to start tomorrow but slowly. since im still having my semester break, i might as well use my free time for this but the main problem is men power. what we want is to do a quick and nice job for this project, let's say a maximum of just 2 days? 3 days the most. but the real question is, can it be done that fast with only a few people?
well, anyways, here's what were gonna do for tomorrow:- get angle irons to the warehouse for welding works. (Nas)
- get/buy some bricks and fine sand. (Dan)
- put beach sand on site. (Kim/Bobby)
- do the first layer of bricks.

Project: Manual Pad (Final I)
On Wednesday, March 04, 2009 / By Danial
as you can see, the cost will be $80.
there are still some bricks that Along wanna give away, that means we can cut the cost even lower depending how much we'll be given.
since this is going to be a manual pad, we have decided to incorporate wire mesh into the build because the manual pad is definitely going to be the highly used obstacle. therefore, we need the mesh to strengthen the structure for longer life.
welding works is necessary in order to add in some security feature. this is a sponsored or should i say, donated piece? well, its Nasir's, so we gotta put extra effort to ensure the angle irons are gonna stay there for quite a long time.
PROJECT MIGHT START COMMENCING THIS WEEK

Project: Manual Pad (Planning stage)
On Sunday, March 01, 2009 / By Danial
this is the first draft of the manual pad. its length is slightly shorter than the ledge, about 1feet shorter. why shorter? we're thinking about using a stock angle iron (just one piece) which is about 8 feet long, so i gotta design according to the angle iron's length.
it is less than 1 feet high but it'll be much wider than the ledge. by utilizing the length of the bricks, i try to avoid the amount of bricks needed to be broken and so that's why the pad will be extra wider (isn't that good?? :p).
materials needed for current design:
- 80 bricks (68 bricks to be exact)
- 2 bags of cement ($18 = 2 x $9)
- 2 tongs of fine sand for brick work ($8 = 2 x $4)
- lots of sea sand for filling
- 2 tongs of fine sand for plastering ($8 = 2 x $4)
TOTAL $80,000
(just kidding lol)
$34 of fine sand and cement
excluding cost of bricks
i maybe overestimating the number of sand to be used but from the previous project, we find that we are always lacking in sand, i think its better to have a little extra in that.
btw, sorry, i could not go for the discussion just now, this is what i wanted to tell you guys actually.
