The 27-year-old Hong Kong woman with a height of 155cm entered the industry to do a tent, with a daily salary of 800 Hong Kong paper: 7 million kinds of life, my life is not to be looked down upon.
The scene of Daisy's first shed project was full of masculine men who beat big red ribs and wielded a sledgehammer to break the partition wall, Daisy's petite figure appeared prominent in the construction site of the strong man and the dust rolling on the ground, but when Daisy cabled the safety rope and climbed out of the window from the high-rise unit on the 16th floor, the han who was demolishing the wall could not help but stop the sledgehammer in his hand to look at this scene, and said bluntly, "I have been working for more than ten years, and for the first time I have seen a girl appear in the shed."
"If I see a girl who can't open the bottle, I think she's pretending." Daisy, 27 years old and only 155 centimeters tall, carries two 8-foot-long bamboo that adds up to the same weight as herself every day, walking between different high-rise buildings, and her first tent project today is to work with other tent masters to build a hanging shed with a ceiling area of about 200 feet outside the window on the 16th floor. She was busy putting on a full-body seat belt while talking, and she explained that after arriving at the destination of the first project, she had to immediately carry the shed materials to the unit, so she could only grasp the engineering vehicle and change into a seat belt on the way to the destination.
According to legend, it was very popular in Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province during the Qing Dynasty, and later spread to Hong Kong, the shed building technique is to build a temporary working platform with bamboo in different combinations, and it is still widely used in building construction and renovation projects in Hong Kong. The shed master walked on the wall between the high-rise buildings, the sun was empty, the work site was dusty, and it was easy to move more than eight feet of bamboo upstairs and downstairs, coupled with the intense physical exertion when building the shed, it can be described as "one bold, two strengths and three kung fu" is indispensable, even the boys feel overwhelmed when they hear it, Daisy may be one of the only two women in the industry to engage in sheding.
Daisy describes himself as a "gold medal master", and the proficiency of the shed builder can be simply divided into a master (about 2000 to 2500 yuan per day), a middle worker (about 1100 to 1600 yuan a day salary) and a "boy" (about 800 to 1000 yuan a day), and Daisy is usually responsible for handing materials to the master on the window in the unit, selecting the appropriate bamboo to the master, mainly taking on the auxiliary role of lifting and carrying the tail. The first step in setting up the hanging shed is "opening the shed", the master in the unit should step out of the half body to drill a hole outside the window to install the dog arm frame as a support, after having a foothold, climb out of the window to lay the bottom of the dog arm frame, and then build a row of fences as a hanging shed fence, and finally lay the canvas to complete. "If a skilled master can build an eight-foot ceiling in about half an hour, I will need at least an hour." Daisy smiled wryly.
Daisy has been living with her mother since graduating from elementary school, and at the age of 14, she came out to work in the catering industry, and has worked in more than a dozen jobs. Seven years ago, Daisy, then 20 years old, was working as a painter at Disney, and at the same work site, there was a master who built a long bamboo tent on a Tarzan tree, "Wow, I saw it and felt very stylish, asked those tent masters to hire girls, he directly said', 'You can't do it, you won't hire you'." This remark has always made her grumpy, 7 years later, The Daisy, who used to work at the night club, coincided with the epidemic and made the industry bad, so she boldly left a message on facebook to ask if anyone wanted to hire her, "I considered the whole month before I dared to leave a message to ask, I was afraid of being teased, how do I know that they reacted warmly to some women who wanted to engage in tenting." 」
Daisy, who usually wears sportswear to work, has been sweating and dust after completing the first project, but because of the rush of work, it is difficult to catch the gap to go to the bathroom to change clothes, and can not change clothes in public like other masters, so he has to wear the same clothes all day, and long-term outdoor work plus burden lifting, tanned skin to train a strong muscle, "Don't look at me working like a man, in fact, I have a girly side, I like to wear skirts, wear high heels." 」 Daisy picked up the high heels he bought before at home, each pair is nearly tens of thousands, but now the most worn is the white rice fish worth 28 yuan, "Now the holidays are wearing wave shoes, usually the tent is too tired to wear high heels, but only the skirt, even if the shed hits the knees and bruises, still insist on wearing, although it is a little embarrassing to be seen bruised." From the former dressed and well-dressed pedals of designer high heels to work today after the shed dusty servants wear white rice fish dragging tired steps home, Daisy is willing to this drastic change and lifestyle, "The appearance is strong and dark, but I think I look good, if you want me to choose again, I will choose to build a shed, because I feel that I am very stylish, and I am realizing my dream of building a shed." 」
Before the visit, Daisy's boss, Master Jiawei, asked me how much my monthly salary was, and after I said my meager salary, Master Jiawei sneered and said, "I'm shocked that you want to change careers after visiting Daisy." After i visited Daisy for a day, I watched them start from 9 a.m. to work non-stop, there are an average of 5 or 6 cases a day, as Daisy said, "walk faster, move things faster" The shed master even has to eat faster, breakfast and lunch are 15 minutes to finish, "Because the skilled master can build a wet shed in half an hour, do you know how much money?" Master Jia Wei laughed, so the seemingly high monthly salary is piled up with sweat, and it is indeed "You deserve it". So I admire Daisy's bold change of career, heroically throwing herself into the shed industry that she loves and is relatively difficult for women.
