12 Living on site
I truly enjoyed living on site and by being here the site was guarded as well.
Reviewing and planning the work at a slow moment or at the end of the day worked out really well for me.
The story goes that Antonio Gaudi lived on site when the Sagrada Familia was built; I started to recognize the merits.
At my short lunch breaks at work I made sure to have a good lunch so I could get away with an easy dinner when I was deconstructing.
Laundry is done once a week at the automatic on Stanmore Road while doing groceries.
A clean site is a clear head.
Time spent on cleaning the site is not wasted and it reduced the risks of accidents and injuries.
Please note that any serious injury would have mend the end of my Muschamp endeavor.
My regular job next to the deconstruction prevented me from exhausting myself and I could finance most of the deconstruction as I went.
At the end of the roof tile stage of the deconstruction I pulled a muscle while balancing on the roof.
My body needed a rest and for a while I focussed on documenting the work and I went to bed early.
The cold water shower after work became a kind of ritual.
Once the ceilings and roof tiles were removed I showered under the stars and that made it special.
On a cold and rainy days the cold shower still is a bugger though.
I enjoyed the return of plants and flowers on site after having been trimmed at the start of the job.
