Gate Fix

WHERE ARE WE? Numero Uno RV Park, La Penita, Mexico

With the temperatures being cooler, we have not been using the pool in the last few weeks.  Now the temperatures are heading back up so it was time to give the pool a vacuum.  I got that done this morning before anything began to happen.  

A little later Wanda, Irwin, Susan and John came over for a nice visit.  We sat and watched the ocean for a couple hours and chatted about lots of good things.  The girls wanted to check for sea glass so they did that for a while.

Irwin showed up to supervise

About 10 am this guy showed up to start work on the back gate.  The old one is ready to fall off from being rusted out so they are going to install a new one.  He stood and looked and looked and then would wiggle something and then look and look some more.  He finally got out a grinder and cut a couple hinges and the door came off.  Then a couple more cuts and the fence came down.  A couple pieces of wire to hold the new fence up until the welder arrived at about 4 pm.  He did about 1 hour actual work in the 6 hours he was there by himself.  Most time he was on his phone.

The welder dude showed up with the new gate at about 4 pm.  He hooked up his welder using a skinny little extension cord and went to work.  

The other guy stood and held some things but mostly watched videos on his phone.  I noticed that the gate was crooked but surmised that it was just loosely tacked together and he would square it with the wire.  Nope!! 

When I went back he had welded the wire on all crooked and the gate was still all screwgee!  I told him in my best finger pointing Spanish that this was no good.  

He was not very happy but we made him take it all apart and redo it.  He was here till about 7:30 fixing it and then it was not a great job.   Oh well it will last a year or so.  At least its straighter.

The ocean was very calm this evening.  It makes for a nice peaceful evening.   Good Nite!!
