Puto Bijotes Y Goto Tambin - What Does it Mean?

“Puto Bijotes Y Goto Tambin”. What does the phrase that will live inside the barter house patio seat wall forever mean?

I don’t know, however I can piece some of it together from my days growing up in Lorain, Ohio. And when my wife called to tell me about the message she had found inscribed in concrete - I felt like old Ben Kenobi: “Puto, Now, that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time”.

Anyways, this week as you can see the footings were poured to support the barter house “HGTV a.k.a We Like To Entertain” patio and the framers began constructing the interior walls on the second floor. I walked the house this evening & I’m a bit concerned at a few of the spaces - we might need to rethink some dimensions - more to come.

You may also notice that I have added Ads to the Barter House blog. Feel free to visit our sponsors’ sites - it may just help fund a door chime.

I guess it was just too much excitement (or something else) being videotaped while working. I promise the next few videos are steady & I’ll use a tripod from now on!

Here is some more amateur (uncut) video from when the footings were dug on the barter house. It’s raining in NC so you’ll likely only see video updates until next week.

About a week after the first real rain to hit NC in months we were finally able to open up the gates, slightly.
