...on my porch, not Venezuela. Finally. It is being dismantled, piece by piece, and will be repurposed, somewhere, somehow, by somebody.
On black Friday I bought the roofing steel beams and metal roof, around $200. 30% off.
Yesterday the concrete panels and posts were delivered, around $700.
I figure labor will be around $700, supplies around $300, más o menos.
I am so eager for the finished product, my studio.
So much is going on that I will post my next edition on Sunday, December 14th which is the 25th anniversary of being online. Wow, 25 years, I can barely believe it. 25 years.

The panels and posts arrived late yesterday, ahead of schedule.

Goodbye termite ridden porch!

Now that Trump has seized Venezuela's oil tanker, I am afraid to imagine what he will do next. He is unhinged with the most powerful military at his disposal.
Peace.
Good luck with construction! Remember to feed your crew...

ReplyDeleteOn Venezuela:
🤨 We are again entering a "blood for oil" phase of US geopolitics! Vietnamese oil. Iraqi oil. Venezuelan oil. We seized the oil tanker "Skipper" yesterday off the Venezuelan coast. We are claiming that tanker was the "Adisa" which was sanctioned in 2022 as an Iranian ship transporting oil that benefitted Hezbollah terrorism. If the ship is still under warrant, and we wanted to stop its operations, we could have boarded it EMPTY in November after it off-loaded 200K barrels in Curaçao and was traveling TO Venezuela. We waited, though, until it was loaded with 1.8M barrels of crude leaving Venezuela!! Sounds like war provocation (and/or piracy) to me! The tanker had sanctions and a warrant. The $100M of oil belongs to Venezuela...well, not anymore according to Donald "C'mon Maduro Fight Me For It" Trump!! 🤬
Twenty five years. I know the feeling.
