Happy ocho de Marcho. This date will soon be a special holiday in Costa Rica. It will be in remembrance of the day that we finish the siding and decking on the cabin:-)
We are forcast to have 20-30 mph winds for the rest of our stay, so we have accepted the likelyhood that we will not be able to put the tin roof on. Our new goal for the last 2 working days are to finish all the siding, install the boards on the front deck, install all the facia boards and furring strips for the roof, and clean up the job site. The camp will then have to install the tin roof, build and install 40 small windows (which we have already framed out), cement and tile the bathroom floor and shower walls, install and run the wiring for the light fixtures, install the sink and toilet, hang 3 doors and paint.
The architect stopped by for a while yesterday. He was very pleased with what we have done so far and he had no corrections or changes to suggest;-) We gave him a few suggestions for design modifications for future cabins and he agreed with most of them.
We decided we needed a break from rice for one night so we arranged to have pizza delivered last night. It was delivered by motorcycle. The driver has a little trunk built onto the back that the boxes just fit into. Very clever.
It is almost 6am here. As the sun has brightened the sky, I am done sleeping. I am heading down to the job site now and will start getting out stuff ready for another windy and sunny day. God bless everyone. We are really starting to miss home and are looking forward to getting there by saturday night.
Adios.
