7AM - Last look at Lazy Daze.
This morning LD and Michel head south. Mr. Mavica went up on the water tank roof and made this panorama of Chito's home, LD and MsTioga. We hope to be able to make better panoramas soon!
9AM - Day No. 2 of the Porch Project.
Yesterday, carpenters Chuy and his grandson Javier placed a new 4x6 foundation board to replace a section of the rotted old foundation. This morning another section of 4x6 foundation will be replaced. First the clamping bolt that secures the new corner post is installed.
More rotted floorboards are removed, exposing additional rotted foundation beams. These rotted 2x4 foundation cross supports must be replaced.
Vertical supports are attached to the lower section of two posts that hold up the roof.
   
12 Noon - The Lumberyard.
Yesterday when I went to buy the floorboards, the price was too high. It is not necessary to use quality lumber for the porch floor. Sergio the owner of the lumberyard suggested that Chuy and Javier come down today to look at this lumber.
Chuy, Javier and I drove down to the lumberyard. They will go thru the boards to find wood that will be acceptable. The 2x4s will also be purchased to replace the rotted cross supports.
 Chuy and Javier sort the lumber for the floorboards.
