Last Wednesday (6/8/22) the Anchorage region had a team day at Legacy/Legacy west apartments, which is a sister property to alpine apartments the property I am stationed at. Team days happen 1-2 times a month depending on the needs of the properties. In this case there was 4 different projects happening, cleaning the parking lots, trimming the trees and bushes, pressurewashing the buildings, and hanging drywall in a storage closet. I was tasked with hanging the drywall with my CD, and it took a majority of the day to complete. The room was off square in multiple spots resulting in many modifcation cuts to the drywall to make the peices fit into place. This day was a very nice change of pace from being in the office and I am already looking forward to the next one.
