Wow, hanging
stuff up in a brick house is sooooo complicated. I had a guy come to hang some
curtain rods. I did think something not normal was going to take place when he
showed up with a hammer drill (that I expected), a machete, and a stick, what
the heck is he going to do with the machete? Here is the process, first you
drill a big hole into the wall with the hammer drill which makes concrete dust
fly everywhere, and of course curtain rods get hung right beside the window
which is where the concrete stud is making it very difficult to drill even with
a hammer drill. After the hole has been made he takes his stick and chisels a
piece off of it with his machete and puts it in the hole as a plug and slams it
with a rock a few times then you screw your screw into the plug....brilliant.
After 2 holes his drill quit working. He said he would come back manana.....2
weeks later we proceeded to finish the project. That’s how we do things here. 5
curtain rods got hung, one mirror and a mosquito net. I am rethinking wanting
shelves in my kitchen; I think it might be less complicated to get concrete
shelves made but probably not less messy. I think I’ll think about this for a
few mananas.
Mean while I
dream of making a BBQ like this, but first a brick pad.

I managed to capture the end of a sunset, which marks the beginning of a sultry Mexican evening.
