Many years ago Lolo, (Sweetie's Papa), built a very, very nice house out the provinces of Zamboanga del Sur.
Time passed, and as the years went by the house began to age, showing wear and tear from the many inhabitants it sheltered, and scars from the myriad abuses of Mother Nature.
This is how it appeared in May of 2017. We will be repairing some of it, (as money allows), and hope to have pictures of the house once it is restored to a portion of its former glory.

 |
| Upstairs "Window". (Just an opening in the wall, actually.) |
It's just as well that Old Grump wasn't with us, as we're not sure the deteriorated upstairs floor would have held his weight. (Grump ain't a lightweight by any means!)
 |
| The Floor Upstairs. (Yep, it needs replaced!) |

The rest of these pics are of the kitchen roof, which is in horrible shape. We hope to have the kitchen "remodeled" soon ..... stay tuned!

| Hole in the Kitchen Roof |

| One of the buckets positioned to catch water when it rains. |
 |
| This "gutter" in the kitchen is a disaster! |
 |
| Plastic roof "patch" |
 |
| Big hole in the roof! |
 |
| This roof is way past its prime! |
 |
| Gaping hole! |
 |
| Looking at the big hole again |
So let's pray that the construction work goes smoothly, (that no one gets hurt!), and that soon Lolo's old house will look like (almost) new again!
