Yeah, i have my system and a decent Plan A. And Plan B, C, D, E and F. But when you have more than a dozen contractors working the same space, unpredictable weather and a customer who is known to change his mind in the middle of things when they see a better way of doing something(*), you gotta think on your feet.

I'm usually a somewhat boring person who likes to plan out every detail. But yet i somehow love working events like this. It's the perfect mixture of planning a year ahead and MacGyvering a working solution on the spot with the wrong tools while solving a dozen other puzzles at the same time. Really gets the old grey cells going. ;-)

(*) A company with a lot of experience doing events like this, in 90% of cases their changes are actual improvements.
