The B team

in #photography6 years ago

I've always wished for the A team when I was going to build my dream house.

But...you know, things never go as planned so I got the B team now. Cheaper, made up of people we know and somehow trust and most important JOYFUL!

Yes, I and @littleone started building "the crib". That's the reason I am off of Steemit lately. Not a lot of time and place to go around shooting but instead a lot of time spent between there, the house, the school and the bricolage hypermarkets I have to go to in preparation of what's to come.
For the moment there's only a lot of cement, iron and wood planks. Not a lot of things a girl can do, but I'm starting to get prepared for what's going to happen on the inside. The fun part!

I am going to be posting as much as possible about the actual construction but that's stories for other articles. This one is about "The team".

@vonaurolacu has nothing to do with the actual construction team but he was around at the moment of this great pose!

So, the B team is composed of the following guys, led by @littleone, the guy I decided to marry a few years ago (what was in my head?! :) :


The Site Manager - Nae

DSC_0091.jpg

Bio: Trained on the biggest construction sites in the country, he has roamed them since he was 14 years old. He grew along forklifts, bags of cement and iron since before he learned to say "mama". Has all sorts of know-how, so he can take and manage a construction from foundations to the metal sheets on top.

Age: 36 YO
Special skills:

  • can pour concrete while raining
  • can use his own eye as a leveler
  • can tie the iron better than his own shoelaces
  • can drink a beer in two sips
  • +10 mana points for being able to reuse wood planks
  • +10 vital points when working with electricity: Degree in the Field
  • +10 resource gathering: has his own power tools to work with

Nae has a big tolerance to heat and Sun. His wrinkles act like sunshades and you can see the lines untanned around his wrinkles, that's how much Sun he manages to tolerate. He is managing the teams to bring up the house and he oversees the works from every angle and point of view. Great guy and a very nice human being.

The Lieutenant - ȚuȘca (phonetically pronounced Tzushka)

DSC_0094.jpg

Bio: Tzushka is coming from an 8 children family, he is an ex-con and sometimes he works more than 2 adults. He grew up without a father since he was kid and life was tough on him but now I can say that Tzushka is on his way to being a real constructor someday. If he doesn't drop dead or something. Because he is a man of many excesses.

Age: 31 YO
Special skills:

  • cutting himself with a knife just for fun (you can see that)
  • +10 for mana and resistance for liking Dani Mocanu
    • 10 vitality for underworld activity - Tzushka makes a living from digging holes: they can be either for wells or cemetery holes.

Tzushka is a pretty violent man you know? Now the kind of guy you wanna mess around. But, he is controllable and when he is working, he is working hard. A good all around guy to have around anyway.

The guy who shouldn't be there - Gigioncu (to be read as you would hear it)

WhatsApp Image 2018-06-24 at 21.03.10.jpeg

Bio: Gigioncu is brought by Nae as an extra hand... sometimes. But you know that an extra hand, when you only need two of them and you have the third, can be quite counterproductive. Well, this is how Gigioncu is.

Age: Enough to piss you off
Special skills:

  • +5 for mana when yelling: he yells a lot!
  • +5 to knowledge: thinks he knows everything
  • -10% to vitality: he smokes so much that he should be the warning photo on the cigarette packs

Work on the site is not stressful and the guys seem to get along just fine. That's a must when you are working on "our house" because we are cheerful people you know? :) There's a lot of beer involved and sometimes I'm coming over just to see if the guys are having their first barbeque or not. I know that the portable speaker we had lying around through the house now really pays off because you can hear the music from the first moment you stop the engine of your car.

But when there's work to be done, sweat will drop and the clockworks of their arms manage to push the stages of the construction pretty ok.

At the end of each day, there's a lot of tiredness involved and a lot of aching but there's this nice feeling that everybody seems to have as we see each layer being put over.

We are here at the moment:

Not a lot but hey, we are not in a hurry :)
