The framing of the veranda roof is going up, and so far this barefoot cliffside construction site has remained 100% injury-free.
Wife, Banana Tree, Muddy River 🌱

Pov tries to keep an eye on the progress of the construction and create social ties with the neighbors, and I more or less am stuck behind the computer trying to fund this project with HBD from my not-so-great post payouts. Powering down HIVE and withdrawing it is not ideal in this situation, so the stress levels are......nevermind, let's move right along.
I Can Imagine 😶🌫️

Even though there are no roof tiles or floor, I still try to imagine the finished result, but I'm quickly realizing the staircase to the river and hammock hut may have to be put on hold until I get some more income built up. It's okay though because they place will still be livable without those features, and we'd only use the rent money to continue construction as long as it didn't bother the renter.

Despite no masks, safety glasses, and a choice to work barefoot with axes and powertools, no injuries have happened. 15 years ago I was doing construction on a daily basis, but the techniques used in Cambodia are so different than my experience, I choose to mostly not help unless asked. I fear I'd make things complicated by wanting to do things at perfect right angles and make precise cuts, only frustrating some guys who've been doing things differently for years and years.

Usually everything needs to bent or forced into place, and watching this does makes me thing I might have OCD, because getting things a few centimeters wrong in the USA can result in a lawsuit. Needless to say the fear of making any small mistakes that could be critiqued by the customer causes a high level of quality in the USA, something I am actually proud of even though I still choose not live there 😜.
Monkey-B Doesn't Approve 🙅♀️

Monkey-B obviously doesn't approve of Dad on the construction site. The look on her face seems to say "silly foreigners don't do construction." Despite her disapproval, I occasionally do some tall guy stuff and grunt work. Well, perfect timing, right as I finish this post I am being called to dinner.....
