Building a Surf Resort in Nicaragua: January 2010

Week 8 - day 1 - final week....hopefully

It is now the 8th week of building, all they need to do is plaster the walls now and add the zinc on the roof in which we ordered last week and it is still not here....we cancelled the order and went to a different ferreteria (store), the zinc is coming tomorrow morning at 8am.

Cool photo of our contractor (Amado) with the view of our house in the background from the middle of our property.

Putting together the roof above our patio

Side view of our house...we are thinking of painting the surf ranch logo on that wall on the left as it will be facing the new road/path coming into our property.

Looking inside the house from the front door. Our kitchen and bar will be on the right and couch on the left.

This will be our view when were doing the dishes, cant complain.

Week 7 - day 1 - roof is going up

The first day of week 7 - they plastered the inside walls for the past week and its a little past schedule but we finally got the perlines, the iron beams for the roof. They just placed them on the roof for now and then the next step is to weld them together then add the zinc panels on top.

Looking out our front door.

The perlines we just ordered - they had to paint them with a green protective coating

Back of the house, we might make a little garden back here, grow some chiles, and various vegetables.

Our camera kind of sucks for detail, but this was a really nice sunset, behind the trees is the Pacific Ocean.

As you can see, we now have some electricity, but its just from the generator, for the night guard, because we keep forgetting to buy him batteries for the flashlight we bought him haha.

Week 6 - day 2

It is now day 2 of week 6...the house should be done this week as signed on the contract. All of the walls are now up, and they are starting to plaster the walls. It is looking good...our vision is finally coming a reality.
