Zkribbler's House -- Watch it being built!

[Lancer]

Darn. My back's beginning to spasm again. I'm heading home. Will check in again in a few hours.

The chair on the plane will help it. Hang in there pal!

Large doses of rum have seem to have done the trick.

I had no back problem but large doses of rum seem to have helped.

I got some useful post info from an American, fellow Oregonian in fact, who built a large house in the hills and got good engineering advice. The posts will be both stronger and less expensive for it. The double pour will be reduced to a single pour around a double post cage. This is stronger because a single pour adheres to itself better than a wet pour on top of a dried one.

This is better Zkrib.

I'm out the door soon heading for the site.

Clemente's van had a flat so we haven't left yet. Dolores is asking how you are Zkrib, feeling better still?

[Zkribbler]

I spent the day as a human ping-pong ball. I wanted to spend the day planning my retirement, but I suddenly had multiple events pop up that friendship said I must attend. Friends is good things. I'm headed home now for sleepy-time land.

One pour sounds like a good idea. It'll take a little longer to cure, but that's okay.

Hi, to all the good folks in the Phils.

[Lancer]

Well thanks Zkrib, I'll pass that on if I meet any.

We had quite a party yesterday and so this morning was zombie home builders inc at your place so we're changing the party to Saturday for the duration. Rigo however was working like crazy as usual.

Of course Aeson who doesn't drink decided to get into high gear on the boats and the only available help was yours truly, so it was zombie boat builder assistant at my place.

If it wasn't the perfect breezy day in the tropics it would have been a total loss.

Pics coming when humanity returns.

Sunday at the beach pics...

Wouldn't be much fun without Jasmine.



There was lots of family from Mabini there and of course Irish the daughter of Rigo.

We had a couple guys who settled here from the US over to visit. This fella who bears the same name as you Zkrib brought a wealth of post knowledge from building his rather incredible house in the hills.

Nice pic of the ladies...




Wonderful pic of my honey!

Tina took pics when my guest and I walked down to discuss posts. This is Sunday, the back posts are all laid out now and the holes for them are digging. I have zombie Monday pics but they're not uploaded to the comp by Dolores yet.



I like allot of Tina's pics...

The short inner wall behind the steps.




Tina really captured the high gravel expanse in front of the wall.

He had to admit that my post design improves on his engineer's in one way and I had to do the same in another.

Several kids and adults had birthdays this month so we had a cake.



Elmer hamming it up. Tina had a birthday this month also. That's her mother, Candita, to her left.

Sho had a good idea and we put the hammock low for the kiddos. Aeson brought the foam mattresses for safety in spills...which there were a few.



Tina also worked hard in the kitchen besides taking pics and still found time to do her younger sister's hair.
