One of the projects that Joyce's mom and dad have been working on this month is the rebuilding of our laundry/storage room. Last month I posted about how the termites had eaten up the wooden walls of our old laundry room. Joyce decided that we needed to replace the wooden walls with concrete block. A wise decision in the tropics! So, Dale has been laying a row of blocks each day for the last couple weeks. As you can see in the pictures it is starting to look very nice with a couple windows and a door. It was all open before.
Besides providing more secure storage we were thinking that we might be able to use it as another guest room. It will still have a steel roof. It will be nice to have a bigger and better storage and laundry area.
While we were in the midst of this project our neighbors asked us if they could tear out our fence on the property line between us and build a newer and better one. Our fence actually strayed off the line and was a few inches on to their property. This sounded like a good idea to us and we were glad to contribute our fence materials that were already there to the project. The fence will have a concrete block lower part and then a wire fence on the upper part. It will also cover the whole property line. So we are thankful for a new, better fence at little cost to us. We have the blessing of construction on both sides of the house now.
