We're not in Kansas Anymore

This little house (called a "dependencia" here) used to have a roof. And the "porch" area also had a roof. We had a massive storm here a few days ago, that left me wondering where our early hurricane warning system was (my dad keeps us informed of incoming heavy weather). The driving rain and fierce winds were whipping everything around, and peeled the roof right back, about 10 feet. The tin roof pieces will have to be removed, pounded, new cement blocks put in the wall, new wood crossbeams, etc. It's always something. We are very blessed to have this little shed, though. Before we moved into our rental house, the guard and his whole family lived in this 2-room cement house and were glad to have it. Many people here have straw roofs, which tend to leak badly and blow away in high winds. Now we use it for storage of things which would otherwise tend to "walk away" when we are not around. - Cami
