About a year ago the world stopped and progress on our rental cottages came to a halt. We're gearing up to finish the two already under construction, shipping down furnishings and niceties. Right now we're trying to figure the best way to transport two 3-part surf casting rods - there will be one in each cottage for use by renters. It's nice to be thinking about important stuff again.

ENEL 8
Finally...the hole is dug and the 'house' pole is moved into place.
The ground end is positioned near the hole and the guy with the X-shaped tool stands ready to hold the pole when the men start to lift it.
Up goes the pole.....
...as the guys with the barbed sticks move into position.
Done!

The house gets painted
The first paint on the house at False Bluff was flat latex: a creamy white and 'flamingo' on the wood work.
Though we stayed with the same general color scheme, the change is startling. We've gone from the flat cream to high gloss white; and there's never been a flamingo born that's the shade of pink that now graces the wood work.
The change to oil based high gloss works well in this Caribbean environment and it sure cleans easily!
It didn't take any time at all to get used to.
