Friday Evelyn noticed that the door frame to the kids' room was facing the wrong direction. doh! Originally this placement made sense as there were two doors. One coming in from what was Clovinho's room, and the other going through to what was their parent's room. However, in the current incarnation of the house, what had been Clovinho's room is now a hall that opens up to the back porch. The guest room has been made a bit smaller, and there are now doors to both of the back bedrooms that don't involve going through someone else's room. So the door between the two back bedrooms was bricked up, and we were left with one door between the kids' room and the hall. The problem being, this door was set to open into the hall as opposed to opening into the bedroom.
So it was decided-- better to deal with a week of annoyance now as opposed to a life time of annoyance later. I.e. better to fix the door frame. Luckily, it's gone faster than we expected. Friday morning, Eduardo cut out the door frame. Friday afternoon, Cosme smoothed out the hole in the wall. And today, Eduardo will reinstall the door frame (facing the correct direction) with foam. To reinstall it with cement would have required making a significantly bigger hole.
I realize that Friday and Tuesday are not contiguous days of the week. But we had a wedding in Campo Grande this weekend, and yesterday was a holiday. We spent it making (and eating) a ridiculous amount of sushi.
