We are now as they say in the summer. What temperatures! There will be already planning to go clean up the facade. Had long wanted to talk to some of those who were engaged in these activities, and I got in touch with one of them, particularly with Aunt Mary "Gonzalo", and as always enchanted to respond to what I asked , as it did when I talked to her about Martin "Sheriff."
The first thing we did was clean the lime kiln was used throughout the year without being filled with bushes . He tells me to pick up the lime (stone), gathered a group of men who were engaged in collecting the stones they thought best and among all stacked in the tobacco industry would , until they thought he was already quite full. They made the roof like a coal furnace and then among all collected all the wood floor as possible (rosemary, gorse, etc.). This was done with hooks in a "U" until they understand they already had enough for the two days that lasted about cooking (all this was done with the wood hooked on these hooks and shoulder). Then lit the fire, which was about twenty-four hours without being blown out (all this was done taking turns seven or eight men who were at work) when it passed the time obscured the mouth of the oven and left him closed four or five days until they thought they already were pretty cool to be able to pick them up and load. At first the males and loaded onto donkeys in the panniers, because there were cars, then we came down the cars and load them. The area more lime from the road there was the owner until the raft Silvestre (they are recovering thanks to the work being done by the ACLA).
Lime the routine discharge at any place and people would buy it there for "Barchilla" and when people are not going to buy, giving around town proclaiming that sell lime.
All "bays" that were paid a tribute to the City by giving two or three "Barchilla" which were thrown into a pit that was in the garden of the Marshals (today the bulls are kept) and there lime killed for municipal (slaughterhouse, sinks, fountains, etc.).
The women did the same at home, lime was so good that a "Barchilla" out a pitcher and even if you do not draw near white stained or carry it behind you and if at times they got some stone put a "basilisk," I have "engañao" and why the "Barchilla" worth three to five pesetas.
whitewash Then we talked about and tells me that summer and they kept up very early. I wonder what he was charged and told me if painted a "Chamber" Maybe they gave you five or six pesetas and ten pesetas border and seemed they have charged me that. People were more "impoverishment" whitewash a border that were paid with a fat jar "Fridur." I was going to whitewash with Aunt Mary "Baltasara" which was the most time dedicated to this office in Vicenta Alcublas and the Carpenter. Previously, although I was not with them, sat Aunt Dolores "the Requete" and Nati "the gasps" and later Aunt Pilar.
Aunt Mary showed me that it is a special art to attach the brush to the shaft, which made all her fellow-sufferers, because the stronger left any. (As seen in the video). Then talk to
Vicenta "the Carpenter" and told me that the ceiling of the kitchens the whitewash with "algez" because they were yellow with smoke and as the "algez" sometimes it went dark it blended with alabaster to make it more white. also going to whitewash Alcublas outside, Villar, Cucalón the farmhouse, the house of Uñoz, etc.
Well I think I've gotten quite roll and here I leave, but not before they told me to emphasize that a lot of times we did not say "paint" the border if we are going to whitewash the border.
PD. I want to thank Aunt Mary and Vicenta.
