Sam is priming the broads here. That is what I did almost all day long. Just trying to get another porch up and ready.
These guys, Tim, Stu and Aaron are setting the header and making sure the lengths are correct.
About two hours before the guy have to leave for the airport. Aaron is working on his message for Sunday service.
We got them all the correct lengths and all I need to do now is paint them brown and put them up later on that afternoon.
These guys were a big help and really enjoyds our time together. As people and come and go here. We have to say our good byes. This is Tim, Sam, Stu and Aaron.
So while Tim took them to the airport I kept painting and even priming more of the boards. This way all will be done.
As our day was winding down. Tim and I got the second porch up and looking great. You can see all the boards are primed and ready for some paint.
So on Saturday morning, Darren, Tim and I worked on his porch. #3.
Here you can see Tim and Darren measuring and making sure all is well. As this is Darren home, he wanted to do some short cuts. So they didn't take each board up and make sure of the length
As we all were painting and moving along.
Darren came out with this water bottle with a Bahamian boa constrictor. His guys found it on a job site, He told me that the Bahamians would rather kill it and be done with it. As this is true here. There is a need for them. They eat the rats and any other rodents.
His is Darren's son Dave(I think). He has never touched a snake in his life. I showed him him how to grab it and let it go.
These two work well together. Darren and Tim. I was told Darren is the one that found the boards that we are using for all the porches. I wrote about that yesterday and how neat it is how these worked out great for these porches here.
So as we finished up his porch. After lunch we started working on another one.
This one needed a little more work on it. The 6x6 was rotten out on top and Tim and Darren cut the old one out and replaced it with a new one.
It didn't really match that good. So Darren is planing it down a little to make it look good.
Meanwhile the guy that lives in the house we are working on. His name is Desmond, he came home from work and now helping us paint and cut and the boards. It really is neat to see and hear the different stories these guys have about what is going on around the Bahamas.
We the evening was coming upon us and it would be soon dark. so as we finished up painting and cutting all the boards.
So now Tim and I can finish this porch up on Monday morning and say good night.
We are going to finish these all up by Monday afternoon. It really is looking great, too.
