SPCC A Casa Amarela

14.03.2010
some holes drilled, hung some of the green cloths, P is finishing up his dog door, i got the shower in place, soon we might have a proper shower. a LOT of sleeping. our (insanely sized) bed has direct sunlight during most of the day, it's a wonderful thing to sleep under the sun. we all slept wonderfully, this bed is wonderful. it also wakes me up in time for work, which is great. i guess i'm starting to get used to this lifestyle, and it isn't that much different from my previous one.

we had a somewhat slow day today, but we got, so far:
- working toilet (fuck yeah)
- shower stuff, needs the connection, within a couple of days it'll be done
- the red room is up
- hooks for two other rooms are mostly ready
- the kitchen is getting nicer with new furniture

we continue to have issues with water, excess pressure and bad threads. we need a new hydrant.

Pheww! What a day!

Work done:

- Fuckin' wood wall is up for P and M's room. Now we just need to put a door and case closed.
- Fuchsia room is up too. We made it a bit more bigger, since we are 3 and we need room to put our things and computers, cameras and bla bla.
- The guys started to build up the door for the entrance of the building, maybe tomorrow we'll have a door.
- In the first floor P started to put some wood boards on the window.

And here are some photos of the rooms:

So the fabric for the first room (Fuchsia) is ready. I had a couple of problems with the sewing machine (again) and i took a bit longer than i expected.

While i was at home sewing and swearing, the guys started to put up the first walls on P and M's room. A and L collected some tires for the beds.

Not a very productive day compared to others, but well. Tomorrow is a new day.

we're falling a bit behind on our expected schedule. anyway, a bunch of holes and a fake third of wall is up. besides that L, S and A did a lot of cleaning in the bottom floor, got a squat toilet and a lot of tires for the bed. T finished the sewing so we can set up the first fabric room, once we do the right holes. i've been having some issues with the drill (it's battery powered), the concrete is very hard and seems to have metal plates after some depth, which means that some things might have to be nailed in instead of screwed in.

even though the plan was to get the wall up, instead we just did more cleaning. me and P set up some windows using the top floor ones, so now the 3rd floor has all the windows covered except the little tops. the pigeons are also learning how to fly, so i expect them to leave soon and we can close everything up (and end this pigeon thing).

Yesterday we didn't didn't do much. Me, A and P finished the first floor and cleared the entrance. I never seen so much garbage together. Although it was great to see P excited about the project while i was explaining more things about it and working hard with us. There are still some issues between him and Ma (Macieira) but it's getting better.

Today was a fucking hard work day. Me and J went to buy more wood for P and M's room. Once we got there we made a nice lunch before the hard work:

so no news for now. got some more water containers to the house, and also found our hydrant reduction to be gone. all of the stuff we set up is gone. i have no idea what happened. got the week off, so hopefully more news soon.
