Part Six

Well, this is part six, and I am tired of continuing this, but I made a commitment and it shall go on! Wednesday was cold as well, but still warmer than Tuesday. We used sun showers, which are essentially plastic bags you fill with water that have black on one side, and you stick them in the sun and they are supposed to get warm, but they don't really. And our shower enclosure had no roof so it had wind running through it while we took showers. It was SO cold. On Tuesday we had all the walls up on the house, and the roof, and we had the tar paper up on Wednesday, and the chicken wire. On the last day of work, Thursday, we mixed and put the stucco on the house. It was hard to do, but the good part was that we got a two and a half hour break while the first layer dried. We talked to the hiome owner (she was very forgiving of our bad Spanish - or mine, at least), we bought things from vendors (we promised them we would buy things on Thursday, they came around every day trying to sell things). It was good. The second layer of stucco was much easier to put on.
