I have decided against cementing my house. After I wrote my post about the pros and cons I had initially decided to go for it. I went over to tell my landlord my plan, and ask for a discount on my rent. [Note: my landlord is blind and had a stroke years ago, so he doesn't see, walk, or speak]. He is a little intense, so I just blurted it out. He shook his head violently and told me through his wife that the house is fine as is. I quietly explained that the wood is full of holes and is falling off the house. Then he agreed to replace the wood, free of charge. What a deal! With all the money I am saving, I think I am going to paint the new wood once it is up.
Anonymous, want to come help me paint?
The only downfall to this is the Dominican sense of time. I would not be surprised if it took 6 months to start the project. I will keep you updated on the progress.
i'll paint with you
