Loreto Concrete Block Fence Repairs


I need to have some repairs done on my concrete block fence... (possibly rebuilt in a few areas)... It seems to be turning to compost in a few areas.... Some of the blocks used originally were ok... and some were... well... not so good!! I'm sure most can be filled, mortered, and have a concrete facia applied as I've seen done.... Some maybe not...

Anyone know a good worker in Loreto who would be available to do the work for me?.... I'll be mostly gone for a little bit, so It would need to be someone dependable and independant (who didn't require a lot of supervision....). . . or perhaps a fellow Loreto Nomad might be willing to do a little supervision for me in exchange for like-help, pmt., or barter??

When I asked my Mexican neighbors the same question, they laughed each time I said "good worker", "dependable", and "independant"....

Seemed a bit cynical, but they're multi-generation Loreto locals...... so, it made me wonder.... All part of the learning curve.

Any recommendations much appreciated!

And a gate...


I will also need to have a new large gate built! So if you know of a good Loreto metal fabricator, I'd appreciate the info.

Thanks!

We've used Felix for metal furniture and fixtures. His work has been good, reasonably priced and he's fast. I think he will do gates too.

He's near the highway near Mirimar, on the west side of the highway about a block south of the Friday farmer's market. There's a sign saying "Felix."
