One day this week, some of the girls decided they needed to ditch their husbands for a while!
Ha! Just kidding. Actually, the guys were looking for something different to do for a while, so they decided to come over and help Vic to finish the sealing of our cement walls.
By using the sealer (sellador in Spanish) it protects the walls from the rains, etc.,
and makes any paint we do put on someday stay on substantially longer.
The same product was applied to all the other walls and ceilings inside and outside of the house.

and Owen below,
hard at work!
Luckily, the sealer is clear once it dries, so we had no worries about messes, although I'm sure if they'd had to, the guys would have been careful!
Vic made sure their trays were loaded - want to keep them all moving you know!
One advantage to having a pool in the backyard is it's really easy to take a dip and cool off!
Which Mich did! It was a real scorcher and some of the sealing was done in the direct hot sun!
Des, like me, stayed in the shade most of the time - smart man!
You can just see the edge of my project above on the right - I've been painting the old gates from the property to mount on the walls for accent. They're really very pretty, but it's amazing how many people have asked us what we were doing with them!
A little compensation for a hard couple of hours of work!
Thanks so much for your help gentlemen! It made the job much quicker,
and much more fun of course!!
