One confused week and 6 consecutively smaller holes later, our hero mixes concrete in paradise.
My team for the day consisted of Thiago and Danielle (27, Ecuadorian/American civil engineer, lucky soul enjoys a relationship with Karina Lassner).He is installing nails into the main posts so the cement gets a strong hold (favela trick #1). We used macaranduba, a magical wood from the amazon. So strong, you can’t nail anything in without previously drilling a hole. it should hold up the mini-cabana-raves I’ve been planning.
This is a great shot of my hair
Thiago (left, 28, previously employed construction worker, in a relationship (sorryladies)) comes to our international rescue.
Thiago’s philosophy is pure – “ta bom” (it’s fine). Thiago was in charge. Holes too big? No problem. Not sure where the post should go in the hole? No problem. Nothing we can’t just figure out later.
look how absurdly big that hole is for that itty-bitty post. This wasn’t even the biggest one (the cat grave). Notice the used motor-oil, *favela trick #2* to deter termites.
the first sign of LIFE!!!!
