It looks not bad

we are coming along.

The living section starts to look somewhat nicer.

everything is cleaned well, the floors are dust free.

we can look out of the windows and all around, it is pretty great how far it is.
we still could use some helping hands.
some electric works have to be done and also some plumbing


but so far, i'm happy with the progress.
i will work on bars for the windows in the next days

that place needs to be save and secure.

i think we put the bars inside to make it more difficult to break in or so. plus, it is easier to build them in.

we have a working fridge there now, with this weather we need lots of cool water. it helps to survive...lol


i will update some more pictures pretty soon.

More roofing work done!

Not much to tell about. it was hard hot work to fix that part here. not that i did it professional but i think i got the holes to be save for the next rainy days.



there are holes all over, but it rinses out of just one part. so, i think i got them all...we need to wait for the next rain thought

roof cement is a devils stuff i think. i stickied my hands so bad together that i was not able to move the fingers anymore...lol

Little rest on the roof.

The roofer has done the job

Somebody was soposed to come by and fix our roof.
there are some leeks in and i wanted them closed.
Over a week i waited to get that job done.
First i where thinking to fix it myself, but everybody told me not to go up there...you know...dangerous.. too high ... and because!

i agreed because i think it may not have been my favorite place to be.
But the leeks needed to be gone and every time it rained, and lately it where raining a loooooot, i freaked. this damn water just made it more bad and bad when ever it leaked in the building.

after waiting now so long, i decided, i GO ON THE ROOF and fix that hole.
adrian, my son, daved the ladder and old mama walked up the roof.
leek stop, spatulas and diverse other tools with me.

damit, it was high up there. almost in the clouds. not that it was realy soooo high, but it feeled like it was.
after i while playing with this bad sticky leek stopper, i realized that i wore my favorite pants. i did not wanted ruin them. walking down the roof and change, would have been an option but i did not feeled like that this would be a great idea.
so i made my son bringing me other working pants. he looked at me like i talk chinese...lol...but i brought them to me.

what should i say... i changed on top of the roof... a picture for the goddest family...

after i fixed the roof, i rained like hell opened. a nice bad thunder storm and bad bad rain floods came along.
i went after it cleared up to have a look.
huh, there has not even been a glimpse of a water drop visible. i think i did a good job! you can call me roofer now:

changing pants in the air:

sticky stuff... sticks sticky everywhere:

quiet compfortable between the two roofes:

job is done:
