Projects

We have about 2 and a half weeks remaining here. We are pleased to report that we have finished at least 3/4 of the projects we planned for this trip and are looking forward to kicking back and just being on vacation for at least some of the time remaining. Mike's big projects were to redo 5 upper story windows (sand, paint bars, varnish frame and install new screen) and to replace the hand rails along the bridge. He has finished the windows and the hand rails are well along the way. Our friends Scott and Joyce provided the teak from their teak plantation. Ricardo is sanding the post after stripping off the bark.

My project is always painting. I have nearly finished the whole house and the little wall behind the house. Only one house wall remaining. Here are some before and after shots.

 

This little wall gets a final coat of paint after the primer but I don't have a picture.

The rebar is sticking out of this side of the house so we could tie into it when we were ready to add another room. It isn't going to happen though. It might be nice to have a roof that created a shaded open outdoor room, but then how would we get up to those upper windows to repair them and paint the next time??

And the reward or a job well done, macarron cookies with a bit of chocolate.
