Here are some pics of the main living areas of the house.

We knew when we first saw the property we found something special. Sights like this make it even nicer.

Here are a couple of our neighbors. On occasion they like to take a walk around and try some of that greener grass.

Once again sorry for the large gaps between posts but we are very busy......busy doing nothing.

Thanks for viewing and as always, stay tuned.

This is Jason and Donna from the campo outside Cuenca signing off

still amazed!

rough grade

Rough grade means finish grade will be next, yahooooo! Really looking forward to start landscaping.
We are going to need a few loads of loam.
future terrace

cistern. The sinks and shower water as well as the water from one roof will go into this for the plants. Big no-no to use potable water for the yard, fines possible.
septic, how is that for some mineralized earth. This is a pretty deep hole. This tank will have to be pumped out every couple years or so.
I have been saying, "one month" for a couple months now, but I really think, "one more month." We'll see. We are really getting excited.

Oh and mom, don't worry I think it will be done for your visit. Maybe.....

The light at the end of the tunnel.......

Wow, things are really coming together. The day they started to install the window frames, the guy came to run our power and landline to the meter box. We still need the power company to do the hook-up but it is all there ready and waiting. We had 220 run to the house and all is underground from the pole. The carpenter is quite a craftsman; we asked for screens on all the opening windows and from the looks of the frames everything is going to be as requested. The glass will be installed after the frames are all in. The exterior is sealed and painted and things are moving along inside. We are very happy and grateful for the way things have gone, someone has to be looking out for us!

Moving along

Here are some recent pics.

So close and yet so far.

and then there were lights

Sky lights that is. Man do we want to move.
