A dump truck from Thmor Da full of roof tiles, sand, rocks, cement mix, and rebar arrived the other day, and now the veranda project is underway.
A Foggy Morning Commute 🛺
My near daily 2x commute to Thmor Da to take the @kidsisters to school is a 50km roundtrip run, 100km+ by the time I've brought them back home on the second leg. It has been raining and foggy for a week, and the mountains can't be seen, almost feels like we living in a scene from the movie Willow, my favorite childhood flick.
Watch Your Toes 🩴
The moment the dumptruck arrived was pretty exciting, definitely the highlight of the day, and nearly $250 in materials, a big chunk of change for us. When the side gate drops down everyone must run to protect their toes, no steel-toed boots on this worksite.
Dump It 🏗️
I knew the dump truck would make a good GIF, but instead of shooting video I decided to hold steady and take several pics instead. The result is not too much different, although not as smooth as a GIF made from a video file. Just about as soon as the truck left, torrential rains brought work to a crawl for a few days.
The Veranda Legs 🏞️
The footings for the veranda's legs have been made and soon they'll be pouring concrete. I'll be documenting the whole process and monetizing it on Hive, allowing further work to continue funded by HBD earnings. How beautiful that this blockchain allows me to fund this project by documenting it in real time.
I am assuming this new veranda and roof extension will be our new favorite spot when it's complete. We plan on adding an outdoor kitchen, a loft, and a ladder down to the river where we will make another mini hammock hut. We already know from Khmer tourists that this cabin was $40 a night in the past, even its unfinished state. We can only imagine a higher price on Airbnb once it's renovated and improved, and hopefully this will help us repay the loan.
Twinkies 🧬
This is my wife @sreypov with her older brother. Their facial features and build are very similar, even their personality. I asked them to take a picture together to see if you Hivers notice a striking resemblance? That's all I got for today folks, stay tuned...
