The Remodel


After moving into our new hut we decided that we did, in fact, need to have our own bathroom...the white girls just need the freedom to do things like "use toilet paper," you know? So we asked H-Mama if she minded if we put in a bathroom (the hut technically belongs to her). She didn't mind...I mean we're totally upping the resell value on that thing. And there's already a place outside for it...just no hole. So we talked to the mayor about how to go about installing a new bathroom. He said he'd talk to the digging guy for us and start after it stopped raining for a day or two.

Well, when we came back from the weekend, there was a HUGE pile of dirt outside the wall and a new hole! They told us we couldn't use it yet because they had to put cement down on the ground around it. Fine by me...I want no part of falling in that hole. So they rounded up a donkey cart to go get the cement and put the cement in. They even put a couple of cinder blocks down on either side of the hole for us to stand on...very fancy. It was Quikrete so we had to water it a couple of times, but then it was ready to go! So we got a complete bathroom remodel...all for about $30. The Ghetto Dragon is really coming together nicely.
