Friday September 19We went to Quito to meet with Matt and the work who will be fixing the foundations and roof of our home. Matt came about 12.15pm along with the worker. Matt translated what was said. It sounds like the worker knows what to do.
(Me in a play in Cyprus, 2004)
The labor, we were told would be $500 for three guys for two weeks. the materials will be extra. We were also told that there would be another man who will put the tar on the roof top patio. The worker, Marcos, does not work with tar, so this will be a separate charge.
When all was said and done, Jayne and I were satisfied. We just hope that they do good work.
Also, the worker does not do painting (which has to be done on some of the walls inside because of water damage). We will have to get someone else to do that. Taking everything into consideration the price should be a lot less than what we were figuring on.
The work will start Monday. Marcos will come at 8am and I’ll go with him to the store to buy the materials.
I returned a call to Irina who has invited Jayne and me to visit Saturday. The plans are to meet at noon in Plaza Grande. She is a worker I had when I first came to Ecuador. She recently had a baby. We’ll talk about what has happened in our lives and I will show her pictures of me and Jayne’s wedding.
After leaving his office we went to get something to eat. Then we went to a used book store nearby. When we left there is started to rain, so we went to an internet café across the street. From there, we took a taxi home.
