NO RAIN...BACK TO WORK!!

Ok, they finished the plastering on the outside of the house and have started the inside, even if they finish it in the next week or so, it still takes about 2 months to "cure" with all the humidity down there! In the interim they are going to start the balasters that will rim the steps, 2nd level of the house and the roof deck (see plan pic below) both which face the ocean and allow for the most beautiful sunsets!
By that mound of dirt is the most likely location of the pool...yes built in!! If i could I would get the pool in before the floor, but sean is wayyyyy more practical than I am! (thank goodness!!)

It's probably hard to tell what your looking at but, on the 1st floor its the front door. At about 8'5 in height and 5'5 across its a far cry from anything in NYC! Being surround by tons of lush tropical foliage we still have tons of clearing, but dont worry we are keeping the bananas, coconuts, guanepas, and prickly pear trees!! (hey anyone know if you can eat prickly pears?)

Um, and if anyone was wondering how they can better themselves and their surroundings we do support volunteer work programs!!

Hope to see you soon!!

    But it's part of a cactus. Are there cacti on PR? With the rain that PR gets, I'm not so sure girl.

  4. I did my own research-- PR does indeed have some cacti:
    "In the dry southwestern corner of Puerto Rico are cactus and bunch grass."
