Getting Ready to Camp

We have decided to save some money by leaving our on-going string of vacation house rentals and move in to our house in its current dysfunctional state.

Not wanting to punish ourselves too much, we have decided to hire someone to establish some basic services.  Our Handyman, Jorge Sosa, is now working on the basics.

Our main priorities are to get some electricity and water flowing in a few rooms of the house. Beyond that, it would be good to fix some of the hinges on a few doors and install and a gas tank so we can hook up a stove of some kind. We also need to figure out how to temporarily manage our crumbling walls so as to minimize the amount of dust that continues to collect on the floors.

Jorge says that he and his team of four can do the lot in eight days, which makes us very happy.
