squatty potty

this is the new squatty potty that i (matt) installed out at the land. it is the pink thing in the corner and these are the toilets here in thailand. use your imagination... it's called a "squatty potty." they have a couple buildings at the land as of right now out there and the last week or so we have been working to get those buildings livable so there are people out there at all times. unfortunately some of the brass fittings for the irrigation system on the land have been stolen so they need people living out there for security. we also installed lights on the property and continue to work on the perimeter fence. we are hoping to finish the gate tomorrow!
i have adopted the role of head foreman out at the land which is quite hilarious! first because i don't know anything about construction and second because my fellow workers don't speak my language! it's quite an experience trying to figure things out and then somehow relay it to the workers... but i am mastering the art of charades.
the "real" foreman for the whole construction of the land came out this week and will be moving here with his family in the fall. they are from california and have four kids under 6. we really bonded and he is an amazing guy!
