NEW FENCE FOR THE HOUSE

Over the weekend, the hubby and a few relatives (Kuya Ric and Rely) came over to start work on the fence…he renewed his loan from Pag-ibig and from it he got around 17K, just enough to start buying materials for the fence like steel rods (for the posts and flooring), cement, hollow blocks, gravel and sand. It was supposed to be just Jun and Kuya Ric but just our luck that Rely (our pamangkin and Ditse’s eldest son) got into a fight with his wife and so he took off bringing a big bag of his clothes with him. And so he provided a much-needed extra pair of hands so that the fence construction will go along smoothly. You see, what I really wanted was to have a small bedroom constructed on top of the garage/extension but our budget was quite limited. In fact, the 17K would not be enough so that the hubby had to take out another loan (from their office COOP fund this time) since we had to pay a teeny bit pa for labor and food of the workers while they are working. But all the expense is just OK…at least we’ll be able to get a bit more privacy and even security with the construction of our new fence…the only bad thing was…all our plants were destroyed!!! See that small shrub on the right side? They tried to move it to a different location but made the mistake of not including a bit of soil when they took out the plant and so some of the roots were cut…and it withered and died after just a few days so I guess we weren’t meant to have a shrub like that – sayang! We just trimmed it and shaped it a few days ago and then it died lang! Even the palmera (the plant given by Mama when we moved in) had to be sacrificed because the tree itself lay on the path of the left wall…oh well, I guess that means we just have to plant new ones na lang… there’s still some space left pa naman on the left side of the house e…
