Day 4 - additional project

In addition to the painting, there was some carpentry work to be done.  There was a large hole in a wall between two of the downstairs rooms that needed to be filled in.  Don and Chris, our handymen, got assigned this job.  They decided to make the framing a built in storage unit facing one room, and then to sheetrock in the other side.  Chris noted that it was a particular challenge to do this project with the limited supplies on hand.  Don had brought his tools along, but they could not go to Home Depot and buy whatever additional materials they needed, they had to make do with what was already on hand, or available at the small ferretaria (hardware store) down the street.
