I almost have a green house and it took all day

Oscar worked most of the day on my sarong and checked with me each step of the way even though most of the time I didn't know what he was saying. It was a big deal. He had to build the supports and in some cases attach them to concrete or try and bury them in the rock packed dirt. Then he went and  picked up the green fabric at Gerardo's store. I helped him a bit then to get it draped over the roof supports. The fabric still needs some trimming but that will probably wait till Monday as the workday is over and he just let me know he won't be here tomorrow or Sunday.  Since it is nailed down I assume it stays on but I asked when the plants get much bigger if the sides can be thrown over the top and he said yes. It should work great also to keep the birds from eating the vegetables. I am hopeful there will be a crop. I still have cilantro to plant. Gerardo gave me seeds. I assume Gerardo will bring me a bill as I haven't seen anything yet. These may end up being the most expensive vegetables in the world.
Oscar and his equipment. The barrel is instead of a short ladder.


Oscar working hard.


The green fabric up close. It will make it cooler to work in there.
