a few more pictures

Our lot is on top of this ridge. about 3/4 of the way from the right side (above)

This is the view of our lot, this picture is taken from the west side looking east. Where I am standing is the other steak of the lot. As you can see we have the entire ridge. (above)

While I'm waiting to post 4 more pictures, I can add a little lingo.

Everything is going good down here. The only hiccup was that our battery died yesterday while we were on chocolate road. Luckily it was at Mango Rosa (where we have spent a good amount of time) and one of the nicas was able to fix it. The connection to the battery had gotten wet...that was my fault, I went threw a huge pool of water, and put a bunch of water into the engine. But he was able to fix it with some ingenuity, and we were back on the road.

We have been spending a good amount of time at our lot, discussing how to best build this house. Most of our planning has been in the states, but when you are down here, and you see the lot, it takes some tweaking to our original plan. We spent about 2 hours with our neighbor Felix, looking at his house and a couple of others . This gave us a bunch of ideas, that we would like to implement into the house.

Yesterday we went to the lot with Will, and placed steaks where the house would be. We are going to build a captains perch on top of the west side of the house (above the master bedroom) and that view is going to be insane.

We are in the process right now of having Will implement some of the changes. We will know more tomorrow.
