Everyday Progress

Here are a couple conceptual drawings done by Oscar. As we begin we will see how these compare to the finished project.

We go up every couple days and there is always progress. We are thinking maybe June it should be close to done. The lot is 1/2 acre, just right for plants and gardens on a nice slope. So far things have gone pretty smooth, some issues but that is to be expected.

I would certainly say yes to building to anyone that asks.

Stay tuned...........J&D

Not here......

In another life I would reek of diesel fuel, coffee, and cigarettes. The record snows back in New England this year equals long hours and little sleep for some friends and former colleagues. I am happy to report there is non of that here! There are however severe difficulties that pop up now and again that must be dealt with. Running out of vino, running out of minutes for the cell, forgetting the day/ date/ or time all serious and requiring attention. Granted these issues are lighter than a shovel full of snow but are just as annoying.

Apartment update: Furniture going in this week. Will post final pics and a review of the renovation process.

Until next time..............J&D

Happy Holidays

We are having a wonderful holiday season. Though at this time of the year we miss our family and friends back in the US, our new family here has made this year one of the best.
We are very fortunate to have fallen in with a great group and look forward to many holidays and events.

We wish everyone a safe New Year and hope prosperity finds you all.

Until next time..................J&D

so close...........

Will be ready soon.

It Begins

Our December has been great. On the 10th ground was broken and work has started on our home! This is as it looked on Christmas day with the foundation prep underway.
