Im 5. Teil der Videoserie über unsere Hausrenovierung kommen weitere Baustofflieferungen mit Eisenstangen, Bauholz, Zement und Hohlsteinen. Das Abladen erfolgt alles per Hand und Kopf. Die ersten Außenwände werden gemauert. Die Zeit für den nachmittäglichen Imbiß wird sehr ernst genommen und ist wichtig. Zuschauer haben die Arbeiter auf dem Bau auch in Form von Lola Gerlinda und Apo Shwan, der dann auch noch mit einem Eis verwöhnt wird.

Lolo Dieter had yesterday, October 29, his 72nd birthday with a little celebration organized by the close family.

Acutally, its not his thing to have a birthday celebration, but they insisted. Ya, so I’m really thankful for the small gathering of our little, but happy family.

Unfortunately, not all members of the close family could attend. There is our daughter Jennelyn, who called from Dauin, Negros Oriental, to wish me a happy birthday and send a generous amount for a dine-in. There is our other daughter Liuva (Bheng), who is working in Hong Kong and of course the family of our son Ireneo who lives in Talisayan.

Salamat, Danke schön, Thank you to all of you, who made my day a memoriable one.

In the fourth part of the video series about the house renovation, gravel is delivered and then it begins to mix the concrete by hand for another part of the ceiling for the roof garden. For this purpose, another helper was hired and a pulley block was purchased.

In the third part of this series the team of workers changes because Lola Gerlinde is not happy with the work. The new team has to raise one of the piers and then form the ceiling. In the meantime, the Chariton comes with materials from the building materials dealer. Gerlinda has her eyes everywhere and controls everything. Iron work for the beams still has to be done. That’s where the four-legged foreman takes care of everything. Finally, the shuttering for the ceiling is done.

Lola Gerlinda and daughter Liuva (Bheng) do not leave the workers any time. After the first part the first floor and the meeting for the front door made of solid wood was discussed, the second part of the renovation work on the house shows the construction of the outside stairs to the roof garden, on which a small self-sufficient studio is also to be built.
