Made some corrections in this post....no dicks or pushing. Dock and hushing, rather.
Product corrected to Bora-Care. I hate typing on a phone. Big winds last night. Lightening this morning.
Frustrations coming back to me....remembering trip after trip to Hardware store, and things out of stock. Big Al gave me a ride from hardware store to dock yesterday on forklift. Should have figured that out before accepting, bc bumping along on tire with big hump, on my side, at walking pace was almost as hard as walking, or so it seemed as me, my spine, joints, lungs, and boobs bounced along. At one point we hit a big bump, and I was thrown off, landing on my feet like a cat, and saving bottle if water that had my hands busy, instead of hanging on. I m lucky no vehicles were passing. So many ways to get injured here. Missing skin on palm and foot after getting bounced off rocks on heavy current yesterday evening. I heal fast here.
Poppy a no show today, but Douglas on the job. I spent an hour making decisions about plumbing, and tearing down structures instead of repairing and re roofing.
Final analysis....wood one went. Concrete block filled one stays. My God. I thought they were hollow blocks.
:: Shaking head::.
I'm struggling, and readying to go back to hardware store. I have boat captain Barry set to haul more concrete and lumber that came in on freighter yesterday. Must add plumbing items, and hurricane clips for guest house.
I ordered 6 gallons of product called Bora-Care with Mold- Care. If used on untreated wood it penetrates 4" in to protect from termites, wood boring bugs and mold. Answer to my prayers if I can apply correctly and works the way they say it does. Bad thing is, I will be gone the day before it arrives. Someone else will have to apply. But, I hope it works!
Every job has to be be thought out, or another $40.00 to 80.00 to haul another load back to our side with 3 vehicles arranged and two ferry rides. Yesterday I took two bags if groceries that weren't mine off ferry, and ferry Captain knew exactly what door to knock on to get them back. Confusion comes when every man on ferry and dock helps without hesitating. People just grab and go to be helpful. Very stressful for me, esp since I'm made to feel wrong fir lifting heavy things, and then there are mix ups it like that one time, my stuff got run over by the bus, bc driver distracted. So much going on at ferry. The introvert in my head rocks, and moans herself through it.
Good note to end in... Big Al at hardware store is overtly competent, and on the job. Very helpful to me. Cantancerous owner typically treats me very well, except when he*** hushed***me while calling me baby😮. Not meant to be mean, and he's ill, but didn't sit well with me. I forget things when he stops my roll. He's very slow.
So, I'm ok today, and things still moving forward. Dead bird on patio taken to property line where a big heron or some huge gray bird scared me and I him. I took it as a sign, and walked where he'd been. There was a beautiful conch shell, sans " food hole", as DD calls hole natives knock in to break suction and clean.
We have 2 dozen conch for $35.00 to clean, cook or freeze today....must remember.
The journey continues.

Lighter it sounds like a whirlwind of activity and things to organise. Can you see the bigger picture with it all at the moment or is there so much to juggle that it all keeps swirling round? I hope things get settled soon. Is this your last time there or will there be more trips after this one? xx
