Dropped by today - nice day, nobody there. Good time for some pics.
Things are moving along a little slower than hoped, but we are happy with the care and quality and don't mind being patient. All the sheet rock is hung and primed and the polished cement floor has been completed as well plumbing and wiring.
This photo is taken from the front porch of the new house. Looking down our driveway you can see the other house (duplex) - red arrow. Beyond it is the road. On June 15th we will move into the upper unit of the duplex. This will put us on the land and make things much easier. We can start planting, help with the finishing touches and more easily coordinate the arrival of our household stuff, which has remained in storage in Seattle since we left.
Sometimes I just like a photo. I can't explain it, I just like it. This is the back of the garage.
The opened double slider glass door (to the right) goes into the master bedroom. The master bath shower is going to be outside. There will be a deck outside of the double door. We'll walk out on the deck and into the private shower area which will be to the right of the door as you look at it from this view. Outdoor showers are very nice in the tropics! The inside part of the master bath will have a full sized tub, commode & sinks as well as lot's of cabinets for storage.
Another milestone was the installation of the septic system last week. In digging the drain field lots of nice sized stones were unearthed which will be used around the yard for landscaping and such.
The beat goes on.............
