Men at work

We arrive at Suza Hut in the morning, if you didn't know by now we spend at least 10 hours of the day there as well as most meals, and they are building a deck in front on the bar. I ignored them for a while and let them get on with it but my fingers were starting to itch and soon I was investigating what was going on. They were doing okay, but my many years of carpentry were telling me they could do a little better so i started throwing in a few suggestions. I'm sure they hated it though, but were doing what i suggested. You see they needed more support under the main beams, this was killing me so i took the tools myself. Jay (Johan) walks past and he's no slouch with the hammer either as he's busy remodeling his house and together we have in the space of twenty minutes taken over the show and the rest are just watching. Marco warns us that he has two left hands and it would be dangerous for him to help, so we assign him the knife and fork work like sawing and hammering while the two big boss boys do all the thinking. This was a great idea as after 10 minutes of digging in the sand for the supports and i had a blister on my thumb. What a pansy!

Within no time we had the base boards all nailed down and were busy formulating a plan to build back supports. I was naturally trying to make it as complicated as possible and my design was taking considerably longer to build than I imagined. It was not aided by the drill that kept dying on us due to a dodgy internal connection. The rain timed it perfectly as the wind had finally left our sails and we could call it quits for the evening and blame it on something else. Our job, half done.

Let's get a drink!!
