All of Vincent's crew (Bruce, Manuel, Eric and Felix, plus Vincent's son, Sam), showed up on Monday, and have not had rain days, so progress is going full bore. All of the materials were not here, but they were able to work on the West Wall on Monday. Materials arrived on Tuesday for the South Wall. Ooops...we are missing some fasteners and screws...to be delivered Wednesday, hopefully....still to be delivered...
A problem encountered with The South Wall and Parapet - it is out of plumb by 3 inches. Some of the arches are twisted. Thought processes are working on this problem....and this is resolved. Stretching and straightening.
We had to make a new home for our tadpoles and mosquito larvae. We created a little pool nearby, and bailed out the pool area. We also moved 3 frogs and a toad.
An electrical occurrence momentarily stopped work Monday. The carpenters use a lot of electricity for their tools and air compressor, and we were supplying it. However, when they plugged in the microwave at lunchtime, and turned it on, that fried our electrical box. Bill got the generator out and the carpenters had lunch and went back to work. The electrician was called and put us back online by lunchtime Tuesday (with no microwave problems). The power outage effected our living quarters with only a glitch in the power and 45 minutes without power while the electrician fixed the problem.
It did rain Monday night which caused a somewhat muddy condition Tuesday. And the pool area has some water in it again, but not much. We continue to add water to their (tadpoles') swimming pool.
Pictures to come.....
