Imagine our surprise when it turned out the the factory was Jose's living room. It is a family tradition going back to his great grandfather and we got to see the whole house and yard. The lot was 50 x 100 feet. The LR floor was shiny green and white tile, the rest concrete. Jose makes 5 strand hammocks and they would support 600 lbs, plus single ones and chairs. The bedroom had a mattress on the floor with no sheets and 1 hammock. There was a fridge and stove with a wooden door inside and cooking fire out. A woman was doing the wash out back, in cold water and the clothes were pushed through a twined rope. They must have incredible soap down here because the clothes are as clean as they can get.
