looks stout - no worries about the big, bad wolf… huffing & puffing
Those are the kind of walls that are beautiful to see. Looking great!
You, Sir, are a one man dynamo.
Looks mighty sturdy.
…just looking at the temps —— planning the first bit of roof decking to coincide with the first 100˚ of the season? stay hydrated!
That’s great. Wish you could hire a few Mexican men to build while you are the boss. I’m sure there are land owners out there who would contract with you. That’s what they do here around the San Antonio area. I watched homes all along my block go up that way. In fact in back of me two Mexican men got in a verbal argument about how to put in an air conditioning vent (in Spanish and broken English). Everyone is illegal. They have built most of the area around here. Right when Trump was on a rampage about illegals, an illegal in McDonalds here in the country by the lake was so proud to show me many pictures of stonework he had done for beautiful large homes around here.
In fact a few years ago an illegal Mexican working in my yard jumped up the 6 ft., barbed wire cable fence by my yard like he just jumped over a small box. I couldn’t believe it and he was 40. Maybe I could have done that then too. Walls won’t stop some. Maybe these people have green cards or something. Some stopped and offered to tree trim which made me happy then, but the Caucasian tree triming men chased them out so to speak.
I went into San Antonio today and there was a big yellow sign up. It said, “HIPPITY-HOP along but do it carefully” You know San Antonio is more than 70% Spanish speaking. Fiesta is going on now and one might think we are in Mexico-very festive.
I went to the 24 hour gym outdoor pool by the Medical Center and hospital. All the bright lights were on and people were in the grocery and everywhere. Out here, things were closed and dark and only the Sheriffs were out. Happy Easter.
You can go to utube and see Fiesta in the lovely city of San Antonio with all the friendly, warm people - the parade, market square, party, good Mexican food (real tacos, etc. and real Mexican good food).
