Hello again all! Rural life has its charms but also its quirks. August and September are storm season in our part of Uruguay and this past weekend brought the high winds and rainstorms. And power outages. From last Thursday through Tuesday of this week we’ve had intermittent, unreliable power. Power on for ten minutes, off for two hours. On for four hours, off every other ten minutes for the rest of the day. Which means we are running a bit behind here on the farm for anything that involves electricity. Like updating y’all here on the blog. Last week’s chick update is so late I’ll be sharing last week’s and this week’s together. Until the pictures of cute (& not so cute) chicks, please admire our in-progress wall of tile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After much debate we settled on a wall of tile in the guesthouse for the kitchen. We’d considered just making it a plain plaster wall, paneling it in wood, partial paneling, tiny tile, partial tile backsplash, back to paneling, then maybe narrow paneling. It’s the last major step before the small stuff to finish the guest house. We finally decided large white tile, mirroring the layout in the bathroom. It’s smooth, the color scheme remains cohesive, it’s easy to clean, and will feel cool and fresh during our long, hot summer season. It took my father and I bit to get into the groove of laying wall tile again as it’s been a bit since we did the last part. But he cut the tiles, I put them up and we had all the tiles up in two days. A bit of drying time and we’ll get the grout in and the electrical finished. We have the powder coated metal edging on order and once that’s in we’ll be ready for counters. We can’t wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luz rural & Construyendo progreso<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Hola de nuevo! La vida rural es muy linda, pero tambi\u00e9n tiene su peculiaridad. Agosto y septiembre son los meses de tormentas en nuestra zona de Uruguay. Esta semana pasada tuvimos tormentas el\u00e9ctricas con vientos fuertes. Y cort\u00e9s de luz. Desde el jueves pasado hasta este martes no tuvimos luz consistente. Luz por diez minutos, sin luz por dos horas. Luz por cuatro horas, luz cortadas cada otro veinte minutos. Toda esa significa que estamos muy atrasados a las cosas por lo que usamos electricidad. Como las noticias del blog. La noticia de la semana pasada de los pollitos voy a juntar con la noticia de esta semana. Hasta las fotos de los pollitos cari\u00f1os (y no tan cari\u00f1os), por favor, admira nuestro muro media hecho con cer\u00e1mica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Despu\u00e9s de mucha consideraci\u00f3n, decidimos a instalar cer\u00e1mica a la pared de la cocina en la casa de hu\u00e9spedes. Pensamos de una pared de yeso, de tiras de madera, en meta de una pared de tiras de madera, en cer\u00e1mica chica, en meta de una pared de cer\u00e1mica chica, di nueva de madera, o en madera muy fina. Es la cosa m\u00e1s complicada a terminar por la casita. Despu\u00e9s es todo cosas chicas. Finalmente, decidimos a esa cer\u00e1mica media grande, hecho en el estilo mismo del ba\u00f1o. Es una cer\u00e1mica lisa, el color es igual del ba\u00f1o, es f\u00e1cil a limpiar, y se parece fresca durante los meses de calor. Paso un poco di tiempo por mi padre y yo a llegar a la cadencia de la instalaci\u00f3n como paso mucho tiempo hasta hicimos el otro parte. Mi padre hizo los cortes y yo hice la instalaci\u00f3n y terminamos todo despu\u00e9s de dos d\u00edas. Estamos esperando que seca la bindafix y despu\u00e9s puedo aplicar la pastina. \u00a1La electricidad podemos terminar cuando est\u00e1 seca la pastina y m\u00e1s tarde, las mesadas!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
