Gym Clean Up

Did not start off right when we were told that the jetspray was not available. Shock shock horror horror.

So we had to administer the tiles with our brand of hands-on TLC:




Throw a bunch of innovative climbers together along with a banner and you have an efficient way of getting heavy tiles down to the washing area:




We only had the jetspray in the late afternoon, say 4-ish 5pm? Which wasn't much good cos the sun was setting and our wash area ain't sunny anymore.

We had our makeshift mini not-that-effective-but-still-better-than-nothing jetspray at the spurting water source:




The process of cleaning the gym out involves a lot of messiness and haphazardness:




And the usual craziness of trying to sort out and dump the beyond-usage club climbing shoes:


2 odd hours into the gym clean up, Jiahua had a brilliant idea and went to tow a icebox and a Brian to Munchie Monkey to grab a lot of ice (our usual ice-stealing area is undergoing renovation) and dump drinks inside. Sports Club was nice enough to give us a carton of ice coffee as well (who could have missed us cleaning our arses off yesterday with all the mess in the corridors?):


Welfare was above average yesterday; we had people heading to macs or subway to get us lunch (not FOC, but still, a nice gesture from the runners):


Super clean and bare gym- swept and vacuum-ed the floor plus mopped it. Sucked up as much dust and chalk from every nook and cranny as well, inclusive of the back of the walls and the high-up corners:


As the tiles scream: "WASH ME!",


the walls are being wiped with equal TLC. Check out the slab smiley wall with our two smiley ladies:


Eventually, as time goes by, the tiles are ready to be put up the wall. Jenny ah as requested, the C4 tile is in the middle of the 38-degree wall:



Yours truely descends into Dusty Hell (AKA Behind The Sun-Moon Wall) to hammer in some tin nuts (quartermistress siying gave yours truely a hug later and ended up pretty white on her black singlet):


Finishing up:


We officially called a day at 7pm- but people were still screwing the tiles back onto the wall- so the most of the people who came on time started to Knock Out on the mattresses; the following picture illustrates a common sight. HH took the area in front of the flat wall, shu and yours truely KO-ed in the area in front of the lizard wall, and planet took the mattress stack in front of the 38degree wall.




From the ex-janitors' opinion, this is really the most seh gym-clean up ever (from reasons we had talked about privately uhhem). But all worth it for a clean gym, yes (rhetorical question don't need to answer hahaha)?

Okay awesome now the gym is ready for Open House and Team Trials! :)
