Greetings my dear friends of this beautiful community, it is very important for me to feel good in my house, in my home, because this is the safe place for my family and for me, it is the place where we make life daily, creating memories and experiences in each of its spaces; For all of us it is a dream to have a place of our own, a roof that shelters us and I feel blessed to have our house, which I have built with my wife with much sacrifice and dedication, every time we can do something to move forward and finish it is a great achievement for us, which we can share with our children.
Este proyecto comenzó desde el momento en que nos enteramos que seríamos padres, allí nos comenzamos a preocupar por tener nuestra propia casa, gracias a los ahorros de mi esposa y los míos, adquirimos una bienhechuría; parecía algo difícil de lograr pero con mucho sacrifico y amor, luego de 8 meses pudimos mudarnos a nuestro hogar, aun no estaba terminada, pero como nos dijo mi cuñado “tienen que mudarse para ustedes mismos ir arreglando poco a poco”, algo que fue muy cierto, de esta forma fui haciendo arreglos, pintura, colocar tomacorrientes, colocar puertas y otras tantas cosas.
This project began from the moment we found out we were going to be parents, there we began to worry about having our own house, thanks to my wife's savings and mine, we acquired a property; It seemed something difficult to achieve but with much sacrifice and love, after 8 months we were able to move into our home, it was not finished yet, but as my brother in law told us "you have to move to fix it little by little", something that was very true, in this way I was making arrangements, painting, placing electrical outlets, placing doors and many other things.
Nuestra casa aun no esta terminada al cien porciento, falta frisar y pintar por fuera, debo solucionar el problema de la caída del agua del techo ya que la misma se iba por la puerta principal, lo cual la daño el perfil del marco y una bisagra, era muy difícil abrirla y cerrarla, cada vez estaba mas deteriorada; antes de que se agravara la situación decidí buscar un compañero de trabajo que es herrero para reemplazar el perfil, cuadrar nuevamente, reforzar y soldar unas cabillas en la parte baja de la puerta, lo que impide el descuadre, el me recomendó colocar cemento sobre las cabillas.
Our house is still not one hundred percent finished, the outside needs to be smoothed and painted, I have to solve the problem of the water falling from the ceiling because it was coming through the main door, which damaged the profile of the frame and a hinge, it was very difficult to open and close it, it was getting more and more deteriorated; Before the situation worsened, I decided to look for a co-worker who is a blacksmith to replace the profile, square it again, reinforce and weld some brackets on the lower part of the door, which prevents the slippage, he recommended me to place cement on the brackets.
Una vez que terminó su trabajo yo me encargué de preparar el concreto para rellenar y pegar el nuevo perfil, encofre la parte inferior para cubrir las cabillas con el concreto, este lo prepare bien cargado de cemento para que no seda en un futuro, ya con este trabajo la puerta abre y cierra perfectamente; solo falta colocar el fondo y pintar para dar mayor durabilidad a la misma.
Once he finished his work, I was in charge of preparing the concrete to fill and glue the new profile, I also put the bottom to cover the rafters with concrete, I prepared it well loaded with cement so that it does not silk in the future, and with this work the door opens and closes perfectly; I only need to place the bottom and paint to give greater durability to it.
Aprovechando que me quedo algo de mezcla decidí colocar algunos ladrillos en la jardinera para evitar que la caída de agua siga hasta la puerta, para lo que realice un pequeño surco y fui colocando un poco de mezcla, así como también coloque en uno de los extremos de cada ladrillo para que se pegaran entre si; el paso siguiente será nivelar la jardinera y dirigir la caída de agua a los desagües que coloque en la pared.
Taking advantage that I had some mixture left I decided to place some bricks in the planter to prevent the water fall continue to the door, for what I made a small groove and was placing a little mixture and also placed at one end of each brick to stick together, the next step will be to level the planter and direct the water fall to the drains that I placed on the wall.
Poco a poco he ido solventando algunos problemas en mi casa, primero con las goteras del techo, ahora con la puerta y pegando ladrillos, esto aparte que me ayuda a aprender cosas nueva me permite ahorrar en la mano de obra y así poder comprar mas materiales para realizar otras mejoras menores. La falta de mantenimiento en el hogar, aunado a factores climáticos como la lluvia, el calor, humedad, termina haciendo daño en algunas estructuras, el techo, puertas, ventanas, grifos, entre otros, y a la hora de buscar personal para la mano de obra, se hace muy costoso, ya que en nuestro país esos pequeños trabajos los cobran en dólares, y se hace difícil para la gran mayoría que tenemos un sueldo en bolívares.
Little by little I have been solving some problems in my house, first with the leaks in the roof, now with the door and gluing bricks, this apart from helping me to learn new things allows me to save on labor and thus be able to buy more materials to make other minor improvements. The lack of maintenance at home, coupled with climatic factors such as rain, heat, humidity, ends up damaging some structures, the roof, doors, windows, faucets, among others, and when looking for personnel for labor, it becomes very expensive, because in our country these small jobs are charged in dollars, and it is difficult for the vast majority of us who have a salary in bolivars.
La casa es el lugar más importante y debemos dedicarles un poco de nuestro tiempo para cuidarla y evitar que se deteriore; por ahora se despide su amigo su amigo el Drhueso, hasta una nueva oportunidad.
The house is the most important place and we must dedicate a little of our time to take care of it and prevent it from deteriorating; for now your friend your friend Drhueso says goodbye, until a new opportunity.
